Each of these ranges also offers a Pepper Light alternative for customers who may have experienced defaults or secured missed payments, but have never had a CCJ.

The price of 2 and 5-year fixed rates is the same for each of the products, with 80% LTV mortgages on Pepper 18 Light available for 4.90%, and 4.95% on Pepper 18. The price of an 80% LTV product on Pepper 12 Light is 5.50% and it’s 5.55% on Pepper 12.

Paul Adams, sales director at Pepper Money, said: “At Pepper Money, we are always working on ways to give greater access to the mortgage market to a wider group of customers. Often it’s customers with more recent experiences of adverse credit who struggle to save larger deposits and so, by increasing the maximum LTV on Pepper 6, Pepper 12 and Pepper 18, we are opening up greater opportunities for advisers to help even more customers.”
