Roma launches semi-commercial mortgage range

Roma Finance has expanded its long-term mortgage proposition with the launch of a new semi-commercial mortgage product.

The new product provides loans of up to £2m, with lending up to 70% LTV at a fixed rate of 7.99%. Other rate options are also available, providing longer-term funding solutions for property investors and business owners across England, Scotland and Wales.

The launch forms part of Roma Finance’s continued expansion into longer-term lending, following its forward flow agreement with J.P. Morgan. 

The semi-commercial launch follows that of Roma’s commercial mortgages and the establishment of its dedicated commercial underwriting team earlier this year. The commercial offering broadens the range of funding available to brokers and their clients, alongside Roma’s existing bridging, development and mortgage products.

Michael Allison (pictured), commercial director at Roma Finance, said: “Mixed-use property has always been an important part of the specialist lending market, but these assets can require a more considered approach because they sit across both residential and commercial lending. 

"Our new semi-commercial product gives borrowers a dedicated long-term funding option for these cases, while also building on the wider lending capability we have developed over the past year to give brokers another option when structuring finance for customers with mixed-use property requirements. 

“The bigger picture for us is about making the funding journey more connected. Whether a customer is acquiring an asset, carrying out works or looking to retain an investment for the longer term, we want to be able to support them as their requirements develop.”
