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.

We honestly can’t thank Nicola enough for the incredible support she gave us while arranging our second charge mortgage. From start to finish, she was absolutely outstanding. What could have been a stressful and complicated process felt easy and smooth because of her. Nicola was proactive, organised, and incredibly assertive in making sure everything progressed quickly and efficiently. She kept us informed at every stage and was always one step ahead, which gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her dedication to getting everything sorted as quickly as possible truly made all the difference. We are so grateful for her hard work, professionalism, and genuine care. Nicola is an absolute asset to the company, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much again, we really appreciate everything you’ve done for us!

Absolutely amazing service from the get go. I’ve had absolutely no idea (at the age of 44) about getting a mortgage and really needed someone to hold my hand from start to finish and Jenny did this. She was incredible. She told me all I needed to know and answered every question I had. She will be recommended to anyone and also Keeley was great at the end also

Working with Lucy and Paula at Mortgage 1st has been an outstanding experience and has given me genuine peace of mind during a process that has been stressful for me in the past. Their professionalism, clarity, and warmth made me feel fully supported at every stage. I was consistently reassured by their clear communication and the confidence they demonstrated through their expertise. Thanks to their care and dedication, what could have been an overwhelming process instead felt smooth, straightforward, and even uplifting. I am sincerely grateful for the exceptional service I received

Jenny and Paige have been outstanding from the very start. We were recommended 1st Mortgage by a friend, although not located near us, this made no difference to the service we have received. Jenny was flexible and able to move meetings around our own busy lives and work commitments, this has made the whole process easy to manage. There were some nuanced areas of our application, the team came back in under an hour with solutions and recommendations for us to consider. We now have a perfectly fitting product which has allowed us to move to our dream home in the perfect location, thank you. I have already passed on Mortgage 1st to a friend who has a mortgage in principle within 72 hrs of calling them, another example of the fantastic service they provide.
