Getting a home loan with non-standard income

You will need to have documents supporting your current financial position such as recent bank statements, payslips or other proof of income, personal identification and a snapshot of your current asset and liability position.

For PAYG applicants we require two current payslips plus one of the following:

• Most recent group certificate
• Most recent tax return / taxation notice
• Current letter of employment
• Bank statements – to confirm last 3 months salary credits

For Self-Employed applications we need your last two years Financial Statements, Certified Tax Returns + Tax Assessment Notice and & last 1 month’s business bank statements . If you are self-employed and unable to provide these documents, you may still qualify for an alternative documentation (alt doc) loan. For more details click here. 

At Pepper Money we can finance home purchases of up to 95% LVR (subject to the loan meeting our eligibility criteria), which means you can start to look at buying once you have saved around 5% of the purchase price. 

It is important to factor in the additional costs you will need to cover when you are taking out a loan. 

At Pepper Money, we offer a range of variable interest rates depending on your individual circumstances. A decision on your rate will be based on a range of different factors including;

• The amount you need to borrow against the property value; known as the Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR)
• The size of your deposit
• Your source of income
• Credit history
• Assets and liabilities 
• And whether the loan is to purchase an owner-occupied property or an investment property.

There are fees associated with every home loan application which should be factored on top of your deposit. For example, establishment and ongoing administration of your loan account, legal fees, stamp duty and mortgage insurance fees.

Your Pepper Money Home Loan Journey 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 often caused by incorrect or missing documentation.
