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.

Brilliant help from all I interacted with Katie Frith, Mathew Hodgson & Elle Rodwell. As a first time buyer I didn’t have any experience of the mortgage process but they all took the time to talk me through it & keep me updated throughout every step of the journey. Couldn’t fault the service I received from any of the team- thanks so much-Melissa

Sam was recommended to me for mortgage advice a few months ago during my current term and based on the time he gave me and helpfulness on the questions I had, it was a no-brainer to go with him and Katie when we were going ahead with a mortgage for our new house. The communication from Sam and Katie is excellent, they always respond quickly and with the answers we need. Everything was explained to us in full and with all the options provided to help us make our decision. We felt comfortable knowing we had the best deal and never felt under pressure or obligated to go with Mortgage 1st but are very glad we did!

Chris & Paige have been really supportive and taken the stress out of needing to go through the mortgage application process, very grateful for that at a time I’m needing to prioritise other things :)

This is the second time using Mortgage 1st. I didn't hesitate to contact them again this time around as they are always so helpful. Daniel found me great deal options and gave me time to review them and make the decision as to what suited me best. He ran through the process and timescales, before handing over to Becky. Becky ensured I was kept up to date at every step. Thank you both. I look forward to dealing with you again in future.

Dale & Keeley surpassed my expectations by a mile! They turned around a complex, time-constrained application in a way that only Mortgage1st could have, with their detailed knowledge from whole of market mortgage lenders’ requirements and factoring in many variables from my circumstances. I would absolutely recommend them as specialists to partner with for good!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sam at Mortgage 1st, and can’t recommend him highly enough.From the very beginning, his professionalism stood out. He guided my wife and I through the mortgage process with exceptional clarity and patience. He kept us informed throughout the whole process and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. It was clear that he genuinely cared about find the best mortgage solution for our needs. Not only was Sam knowledgeable and efficient, but was also incredibly helpful in navigating some challenges that arose during the process. I wholeheartedly recommend Mortgage 1st and Sam to anyone in need of mortgage services. You’ll be in great hands.

Sam & Preet have been very helpful and successfully helped us to secure a Mortgage Offer in our unusual personal circumstances. They persevered on our behalf when other Mortgage Brokers would have given up & achieved a good result for us. They kept us fully informed of all developments during the process & explained the reasons for same to us. We would certainly highly recommend them to future customers.
