Pepper Money Home Loan Fees: Fact Sheet
It’s important to be aware of all the fees associated with your home loan application so that you can put some money aside to cover these expenses. Our guide outlines the fees applicable on a Pepper Money Home Loan*.
What fees will I need to pay before settling my home loan?
There are some fees that will need to be paid before you settle your home loan.
-
Establishment Fee
-
A one-off application fee that is required on all new loans, including refinancing existing Pepper Money loans.
-
Valuation Fee
-
This fee covers the cost of an independent property valuer to conduct a valuation on your property. If the valuation is ordered by us, this fee is often included as part of the establishment fee or charged upfront if the cost of the valuation is substantial.
-
Title Protection Fee
-
A one-off, non-refundable fee that protects us against loss caused by legal matters relating to the title of the property (such as the transfer of a deed or similar).
-
Legal Fee

Covers the cost of our solicitors to prepare loan contracts and attend settlement among other legal matters.
What fees do I need to pay when my loan settles?
Any risk fee on your home loan product, will need to be paid when the loan settles.
-
Lender Protection Fee (LPF)
-
A one-off, non-refundable fee used to offset the risk associated with loans of a higher Loan to Value Ratio (LVR).
-
Mortgage Risk Fee (MRF)
-
Similar to LPF, this is a one-off fee payable by you to protect us from a possible financial loss if you're unable to meet your home loan repayments.
MRF may be paid either at settlement as a lump sum or added to your loan and paid off over time so long as it doesn’t cause your loan to exceed the maximum allowable Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) for your home loan and that it meets the required servicing requirements.
Are there any ongoing fees that I have to pay during the life of the loan?
-
Monthly Administration Fee
-
A monthly fee for administering your loan is charged on the same day each month as the settlement date.
What happens if I decide to pay off my home loan early?
