Buying a home
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
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.

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 house loan balance and are usually paid upon settlement.
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.
Yes – in fact, we partner with over 15,000 accredited mortgage brokers across Australia.
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.
Interest rates can vary among lenders, so it’s important to understand the finance options available to you. A lower interest rate could help save you money over the life of the loan - home loans are a long-term debt, and even a small percentage difference in interest rates can have a big impact on the total amount you will pay in the long run.
You can use our Home Loan Interest Rate Calculator to estimate your indicative interest rate with just a few personal details. Plus, it won't impact your credit score.
Once you have worked out your interest rate and borrowing capacity, our mortgage repayment calculator can help you work out what your home loan repayments might look like, including the impact of extra repayments or a different deposit.

What our customers think about us
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!
Best phone call I made all year
I called up to change my address and ask a couple of admin questions and ended up speaking to a mortgage specialist called Mile who was informed, to the point and exhibited exemplary customer service.
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.
Fantastic to deal with made everything so easy
I am extremely satisfied with their help and service. The customer service was excellent, and they always kept me informed about the loan process. I will definitely be recommending them to all my family and friends.

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.
