We offer a range of home loan options suited to your situation

We understand that everyone’s real-life situation is different. That’s why we keep our thinking flexible. As a non-bank lender, we look at more than just your credit score, which is why we may be able to help when others can’t. Pick the right option for you below: 

Buying a home

Moving up or sizing down?

Whether you’re moving on in the world and exploring new suburbs in Australia, needing a bigger space or maybe even downsizing - we’re here to help. Things may have changed since you last bought a property. Getting a home loan approval from traditional lenders today can mean having to tick a lot of boxes and fitting into a long list of fixed conditions. You’ll find our approach more personal and flexible.  

 

What every home buyer needs

  • We look beyond just your credit score
  • Borrow up to 95% of the property value
  • Additional income sources considered

Refinance your home loan

Unlock the power of your home loan

Refinancing could reshape your financial situation. You can refinance to change lenders for a better deal, to consolidate debt, or to use your equity (the market value of your property minus what you owe on your mortgage) to help fund a renovation, a new business venture, or even a cheeky boat purchase. The options are nearly endless.

 

Make refinancing work for you

  • Cash-out up to 90% LVR; including for renovations
  • Borrow up to 90% of the property value
  • Deal directly with a decision-maker
  • Consolidate unlimited debts and improve your cash flow 
  • We look beyond just your credit score
  • Additional income sources considered

What others ask about our home loans

Here's what other savvy home buyers are frequently asking us. If you're still stuck for help, then why not check out all of our home loan FAQs.

This is a calculation based on your total income, expenses, current credit exposure and your credit history. You can estimate your borrowing capacity in under 5 minutes using our home loan calculator - it’s quick, easy and won’t impact your credit score.

Different lenders charge different upfront and ongoing monthly fees, which should be factored in when saving your deposit. Some of these can be added to your loan balance, while others will need to be paid upfront – fees include establishments or application fees, and risk or mortgage insurance fees. Other smaller fees will be added to your balance each month.

You can view a summary of our home loan fees.

You’ll also need to pay solicitor fees along with local and state government taxes and levies. These can’t be added to your loan balance and are usually paid upon settlement.

The interest rates tend to vary for each individual, depending on a range of factors: 

  • The amount you need to borrow against the property value; known as the Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) 
  • The size of your deposit  
  • Your income 
  • Credit history 
  • Any assets you own 
  • Any liabilities or credit obligations
  • Chosen repayment type – paying off interest-only, or principal and interest 
  • The purpose of the loan – if it’s for an owner-occupier or investment property

You can find out what interest rate you might be eligible for in under five minutes using our home loan interest rate calculator. It’s quick, easy and won’t impact your credit score.

Yes – in fact, we partner with over 15,000 accredited mortgage brokers across Australia.

On some of our loans, we offer finance up to 95% of the purchase price, meaning you can start to look at buying a house once you've saved at least 5% of the purchase price. The deposit amount may also depend on the property and area you’re looking at purchasing.

Remember, there can be extra costs involved when buying a house. You’ll need to cover government and legal fees, which can’t be added to your home loan balance.

Great ongoing service

I have been a Home loan customer of Pepper Money for sometime now and one of the things I really like about Pepper is that over the last few years they have worked with me to keep my interest rate competitive. Great customer service!

Michael, Adelaide
Made life easy!

The entire relationship was perfect, the loan was sanctioned Just in time. Documentation was not fussy, and straightforward. Costs were as per the market standard, and though I was worried about the due date for settlement, the process was good and done prior to the deadline.

Home loan heaven

Every time I had to deal with Pepper Money was a pleasant experience. Nothing was too difficult and the people I spoke with were friendly, easy to deal with and professional.

Noeleen, Western Australia
When the struggle is lifted finally

We had had been refused and knocked back by our big 4 lender several times and even mortgage brokers were reluctant to help us. We never once said we were perfect and new we had some past credit issues but they shouldn't have held us back from reaching our financial goal.
