The launch will give Scottish intermediaries access to Pepper Money’s specialist lending expertise and dedicated regional broker support.
Pepper Money already offers its second charge proposition in Scotland.
Pepper said the planned launch will build on its existing Scottish expertise and represents an opportunity to bring its specialist approach, broker support and service proposition to the first charge market.
Paul Adams, director of sales at Pepper Money, said: “Scotland is an important market for Pepper Money and a natural next step in our growth strategy. We understand the Scottish mortgage market and home-buying process and see a clear opportunity to bring our specialist expertise to more brokers and their customers.
“We are pleased to be bringing Scottish brokers the breadth of our specialist lending proposition, backed by dedicated regional support and the high level of service for which Pepper Money is known. Our aim is to make it as straightforward as possible for brokers to find the right solutions for their customers, particularly where more complex circumstances require a more considered approach.

“Through this expansion into Scotland, Pepper Money will continue to champion greater choice in residential and buy-to-let mortgages, supporting borrowers who are self-employed, have complex incomes, or have experienced adverse credit.
“In September, we will launch through a programme of broker engagement and industry activity, focused on building strong relationships with intermediaries. I’d encourage Scottish brokers to register on our portal so they can submit applications when we’ve launched.”
