Roma Finance has become the latest founder member to join the Mortgage Market Alliance (MMA).

The lender offers a range of short-term finance solutions for bridging, refurbishment, conversions, auctions and developments, and medium-term products for buy-to-lets, HMOs, holiday lets and serviced accommodation.

The Mortgage Market Alliance aims to provide a collaborative voice for the mortgage industry, with a focused objective to promote the availability of secured lending for an increasingly diverse range of customers and purposes.

Nick Jones (pictured), commercial director of Roma Finance, said: “We are customer centric and believe knowledge is power. Education is an essential factor in the finance industry and short-term finance is a growing area with considerable potential for intermediaries and borrowers alike.

“Partnering with the Mortgage Market Alliance will allow us to increase our reach and ensure the benefits of intermediaries and their professional advice are projected to as many people as possible. Making an informed decision is critical when it comes to making the most of a property investment.”

Alex Hammond, director of the Mortgage Market Alliance, added: “The Mortgage Market Alliance (MMA) is a collaborative voice for the mortgage industry, promoting the availability of secured lending for an increasingly diverse range of customers and purposes.

“Short-term finance is an area of lending where there is a real opportunity to raise understanding amongst customers in a way that will open up new opportunities for property investors, intermediaries and lenders, and we look forward to working with Roma finance on PR and education campaigns in the future.”
