What’s a flexible credit assessment?
We don’t just look at the boxes on your home loan application. We make the effort to get to know you – the person completing the application. We ask the questions that matter so we can understand the reasons behind any issues on your credit report, which allows us to make an informed decision and work out an interest rate based on your situation. The loan amount is worked out using a range of factors (including your property goals, income and financial details), while ensuring your requirements and objectives are met.

What other property investors are asking
There's no point re-inventing the wheel. Here's what other savvy investors are frequently asking us. If you're still stuck for help, then why not check out all of our home loan FAQs.
To apply for a home loan, you’ll need to provide documents to verify your identity, employment, and financial position.
To prove your identity:
-
Australian passport
or
-
International passport showing a valid Australian permanent residency visa
To prove your deposit, you’ll need to provide the following (depending on where the funds originated from):
- 3 months’ bank statements demonstrating genuine savings
- Share certificate or dividend statement for any public listed company
- Gift letters for non-repayable gifts from family
- Contract of sale or settlement statement for proceeds of a sale of another property
To prove your income:
For PAYG applicants you’ll need two recent payslips plus one of the following:
• Most recent group certificate
• Most recent notice of assessment
• Current letter of employment
• Bank statements - to confirm your last 3 months of salary
For Self-Employed applicants, the required documents vary depending on how long you’ve been self-employed.
At least 6 months:
You’ll need to be able to show at least 6 months of GST and ABN registration and provide declaration of financial position, as well as one of the following: 6 months’ business bank statements, or 6 months’ BAS or Pepper Money accountant’s letter (not accepted if ABN registered for < 12 months, on loan sizes > $1.5m or on Plus).
Over 2 years:
Last 2 years’ tax returns and notices of assessments, or
Last 2 years’ financial statements executed by a registered tax agent or accountant
On some of our loan options, 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 needed may also depend on the property and area you’re looking at purchasing.
Remember, you’ll also need funds to be able to cover any loan fees, stamp duty and other government charges. These can’t be added to your home loan balance.
The interest rates for home loans 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.
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 house loan balance and are usually paid upon settlement.
Your Pepper Money Home Loan Journey – from application to actual settlement – can take up to six weeks – this is the typical timeframe for a home purchase, however, the process may be quicker if all the necessary documentation is provided sooner.
Delays in decisions are most commonly caused by incorrect or missing documentation.

1Variable interest rate promotion (Promotion) applies to select LVRs for new home loan applications submitted between 12:00 am AEST 8 April 2024 and 11:59 pm AEST 27 June 2024.
2Pepper Money’s fixed interest rate promotion is only available for new home loan applications not previously submitted. Applications must be submitted between 12:00 am AEST 8 April 2024 until 11:59 pm AEST 27 June 2024. To lock in the interest rate at Final Approval, a fixed rate authority lock form must be submitted (fees apply#).
#There is a non-refundable, minimum fee of $750 per home loan application payable at settlement to lock in a fixed interest rate for 90 days. For home loan balances greater than $500,000, the rate lock fee is 0.15% of the fixed interest rate loan balance at settlement. For example, for a fixed rate loan amount of $600,000 the rate lock fee will be $600,000 x 0.15% = $900. The lesser of the fixed interest rate at settlement or the applicable locked in fixed interest rate will be applied at settlement. The rate lock fee will be charged at settlement even if interest rates decrease after the rate lock request has been approved.
