Roma Finance has reported a record month in May, reporting a 50% increase in pipeline business, on top of the 100% increase achieved in 2020.

This is in addition to the fact that 25% of all new business comes from existing borrowers and customer referrals.

The lender believes the surge in enquiries and cases demonstrates the growing requirement for specialist finance and the appetite of landlords and property investors to continue their own growth aspirations.

Scott Marshall (pictured), Roma’s managing director, said: “I am delighted by these results showing the overall business growth and just how many people come back to us and recommend us to others. We are privileged to go on the property journey with our broker partners and customers, enabling them to achieve their goals.

“The more that return, the more we are certain that our unique proposition works. We have a number of exciting developments to follow this year and I am extremely excited to see what the future holds.”
