About Mortgage 1st & Peak Mortgages:

We are an award-winning team of experienced Mortgage & Protection Advisers offering professional advice to customers across the UK. With over 40 qualified advisers and a wealth and breadth of knowledge, we can assist with any enquiry. Our team prides itself on delivering five-star service, supported by 20+ dedicated staff members who guide you through the entire mortgage process efficiently.

Our head office in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, hosts a third of our team, with the rest working remotely across the UK. This ensures that no matter where you live or plan to buy, our team is available to help.

Founded in 2008 by Jon and Lisa Stones, our family-run business maintains core values of caring for employees, customers, charities, and the local community. Our positive workplace culture was highlighted when we were named a ‘Top Mortgage Employer’ in 2023 based on an anonymous staff survey. Winning prestigious awards like ‘Best Mortgage Broker (8-50 advisers) 2024’ at the Mortgage Strategy Awards and ‘Broker Firm of the Year (11-50 employees) 2023’ at the Financial Reporter Awards underscores the quality of our service.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, looking to release equity or consolidate debt, a landlord managing a portfolio, or in need of personal insurance policy reviews, our specialist advisers are here to help.

Buying your first home can be daunting, but our friendly, experienced advisers will guide you through the process and find the most suitable mortgage product. If you're looking to remortgage, purchase a buy-to-let property, or take out insurance, our expertise and guidance will save you time and provide peace of mind, ensuring you get the best deal after a thorough explanation of your options.

As advisers authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, we ensure all customers are treated fairly. We listen to your needs and present the most suitable options. Your dedicated adviser and case handler will process your application, supporting you until your mortgage or insurance policy is completed.

Beyond Mortgage & Protection Advice, our sister company Specialist 1st offers second charge mortgages, auction finance, commercial mortgages, bridging loans, development finance, and mortgages for non-UK residents. We also recommend conveyancing solicitors, building surveyors, will writers, and equity release advisers.

As the largest mortgage & protection advice firm in Derbyshire, we have access to exclusive deals available only through selected firms, allowing us to pass potential savings on to you. Thousands of five-star reviews mention our team members by name, reflecting the care and attention they provide.

A significant portion of our business comes from returning customers or referrals, demonstrating the quality of our service.
Our support doesn't end when your mortgage completes. We'll stay in touch and inform you well in advance when your deal or term is ending, offering remortgaging or refinancing options and supporting you through the process again. We understand that life circumstances change, and we can review your insurance policies to ensure they still meet your needs.

We are your lifelong adviser, providing professional mortgage and protection advice through all of life's key milestones—from buying your first home and moving up the property ladder to renovating your forever home and later releasing equity to help fund your children's education, weddings, or house deposits.

Excellent service. Laurel has now helped us twice, our first time mortgage and now our remortgage. Would’ve been clueless without her. Beverley has been fantastic too, quick replies and made sure everything ran smoothly. Nothing too much for any of them, always answering and explaining everything we asked. Highly recommend this team, found us the cheapest mortgage and kept us right every step of the way.

Nicola was brilliant from start to finish. She took the time to understand our situation and what we were trying to achieve, then structured the lending so it actually works for us rather than just ticking boxes. Everything was explained clearly, options were laid out in plain English, and she was always quick to respond to questions. The whole process felt organised and stress-free, and we’ve now got facilities in place that give us confidence moving forward. Would highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking to secure lending.

Great service, convenient and knowledgeable. Megan came highly recommended from people in the local area. The team from Mortgage 1st have been great too, keeping us updated on a matters, providing recommendations on other suppliers who can assist. We had a complex set of requirements, however Megan took everything on board, clearly articulated the various options and provided the relevant forecasting for those options. Highly recommend Megan and the Mortgage 1st team to others.

My adviser Sam has been brilliant every step of the way. Very patient with me, taking time to explore all options and putting life cover in place before I even expected it would be ready. Also for mortgages he was nothing short of brilliant. Arranging a mortgage in a complex situation and making sure everything went through smoothly. Excellent service.

Honestly, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We arranged our mortgage through Mortgage 1st, and Lucy handled our case. We never thought we’d be able to get a mortgage with how low our deposit was, but she managed to secure one for us with the maximum term available, tailored to our circumstances. We truly owe our first home to Lucy and Katie. Highly recommend!

My partner and I are first time buyers so all of this is very new to us, and overwhelming. Jenny has been an outstanding mortgage advisor from the start. They are incredibly knowledgeable and always quick to respond, whether by call or email/on a weekend or evening and always patient because we often have a million questions! Their supportive and empathetic nature really helped ease the whole process for us. We couldn’t be more grateful for their guidance and highly recommend Jenny and mortgage 1st to anyone looking for a truly exceptional advisor.

Totally brilliant experience, made us feel so at ease. Chad called us straight away, to talk us through everything and had the mortgage application all done and with the lender in less than 24 hours. We couldn't have asked for more, we got a better rate, and it was so easy. I would recommend you use Mortgage 1st for any mortgage application.

From the start of my Mortgage application process to the completion, I found Gary and his team to be very helpful. Emails were responded to very fast. Questions were answered in such a way that a novice with little knowledge of buying property would understand. In all I was in safe hands and will definitely use their services for my next purchase.

Dealt with Daniel Sykes and Beverly Hickman, nothing is ever to small or to big to query. Fast replies cannot recommend highly enough.
