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.

I first had contact with Rachel in August and she was informative and consistent from the word go! Rachel always maintained contact throughout the process. All contact was via the phone or email. Rachel was very considerate that during some phone calls our 1 year old was present. Rachel was understanding and would answer any questions we had. She was always contactable and never missed a thing. Rachel understood it was my first time buying a house (whereas it wasn't for my partner) but she always made sure that both of us understood everything - especially the complicated stuff! I would highly recommend and would use Rachel in the future. The cost of the service Rachel provides is reasonable and affordable.

I can't recomend or thank Jenny enough. She went above and beyond with her generosity of time and advice with helping us choose the right mortgage options and allaying any anxieties. Bev was very clear in communication once the application process was underway. Thank you.

As a first time buyer, mortgages & house hunting is completely new to me, however my mortgage advisor Jenny has helped get rid of any fears I may have had. She's been absolutely brilliant with me and is 'holding my hand' throughout the whole process, don't think I could have done it without her, Then Bev the mortgage processor has kept me updated during the whole application for my mortgage process. Such a brilliant team and will definitely recommend mortgage first for anyone looking for their next home.

I initially approached Mortgage 1st with a view to purchase my RTB house. My circumstances were complicated but Oliver and Preet worked with me and offered me the best service. Very patient and accomodating and constantly kept me updated via email so i had a trail of the progress of my application. Much appreciated, great prompt service, proffessional and know their stuff. Will definetely refer my friends and use them again in future

I am a returning customer to Mortgage 1st and will absolutely be returning again in the future. Every time I have got in touch with Elliot to discuss my mortgage needs he has been nothing short of helpful, informative, knowledgeable and really has given me the confidence that I am being supported by the best team possible. Paige equally has taken me through the process of having a mortgage accepted very efficiently and professionally with no fuss. No question is ever too much trouble for this team. Very highly recommended.

Danny Sykes provided great advice and was always professional and on point. We are first-time buyers with a lot of questions, so explaining the process step by step was a big help. He and his team made mortgage application easy to manage with clear expectations and deadlines. Very fast and clear communication though out the process.

Great service from Sam. He always responds to emails promptly, booked in the initial call within 24 hours and gave me great advice to make a decision on my mortgage deal. I instructed him to move forward, and can’t believe how quick and easy the process was.

Andy Hunt is a great advisor and has helped me a couple of times over the years regarding a new mortgage and renewals. He is extremely transparent about the process and takes the time to explain things in simple language. Couldn't recommend him enough.

I was really worried about going through the remortgage process but Mathew Hodgson and Paige Sanderson really made the experience as simple and easy as possible. They were fast to help with any issues that we came across and responded amazingly quickly. Genuinely helped me and my family so much as it can be such a stressful process but they really took care of us when we were unsure of things and explained everything thoroughly. 100% would recommend them and this company as they have done an amazing job and secured us our offer :)
