Roma Finance has launched dual representation across its bridging and term loan ranges with the aim of streamlining the legal process.

The enhancement applies to single-bullet bridging and term lending (FLOW and PRO products) on loans up to £1m.

To deliver the service, the lender has partnered law firms such as Insight Law, JQ Law, McHale & Co and TLT LLP.

Dual representation allows both borrower and lender to use the same solicitor, removing a key point of delay in the lending process.

Roma has also announced optional solution with independent legal advice (ILA) to offer borrowers 10% off ILA services.

The lender aims to makes it easier and more affordable for borrowers to meet legal requirements, particularly on personal guarantees and other regulated elements of a deal.

As part of the new solution, a dedicated booking platform is now live.

Roma Finance commercial director Michael Allison says: “Introducing Dual Representation is a crucial step in our mission to simplify the borrower journey.”

“We’ve listened to our broker partners and customers and put in place practical, meaningful improvements—backed by trusted legal partners and a commitment to delivering value at every stage.”

“With the addition of discounted ILA support, our bridging and term legal processes are now faster, clearer and more cost-effective than ever, helping more deals complete smoothly.”

Last month, Roma Finance announced the appointment of six team members across different areas of the business including case management, packaging, surveying and business development.
