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.

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.

Cannot praise Oliver and Beverly enough for supporting me through the remortgage process. They provide a high level of service, are able to speak over the phone or email when convenient for myself and are honest and transparent about everything. Highly recommend.

Wow!!! Having used mortgage brokers in the past, in comparison I can now see that we were previously receiving less than mediocre advice. I can't remember how I came to find Mortgage 1st but I am beyond glad I answered the phone to Ayesha that day. Her advice has been outstanding. The time she dedicated to our case and the service we received was the BEST we have ever had. We didn't feel rushed or stressed and she made the whole process so easy. I would highly recommend! Thank you

Wow. Again Wow. Not the first time I have used Natalie Ellis at Mortgage first and will not be the last. To say she has once again gone above and beyond to deliver a product that matched our specific needs would be an understatement. Her knowledge, communication and professionalism is outstanding. A true professional who really cares about her job and clients. Hollie who took over the completion of the application was clear, concise and quick with her communication. Great work from all involved. They come highly recommended from me andI will be using again in the future.

Oliver and Beverly made the BTL re-mortgage process very simple for me. Communication was excellent, I always knew what was needed from me and where things were up to in the process. I have 3 more re-mortgages later this year and will be using them again.

My mortgage adviser Vidhya was super helpful. I am a first time buyer and she explained the process of buying very well and was patient with all me queries. During latter stages of my application, Katie took over who was also very helpful and kept me informed on a regular basis. I would recommend Mortgage 1st for anyone looking for a mortgage. They're great!

Katherine and Beverly have been extremely helpful throughout my partner and I’s first mortgage together. As first time buyers, we have had many questions but they have always been there to help and advise as much as they can. We are very grateful for their support throughout one of the most stressful things in life! We would definitely recommend Mortgage 1st to friends and family in the future.

I have known Megan for many years and have also seen the fantastic reviews she has earned from other clients, so when our mortgage was up for renewal, Megan was my first point of contact, and she delivered beyond our expectations. I told Megan my objectives and she searched the market and found a product that suited our need exactly. We saved a huge amount of money and also managed to shave 5 years off our mortgage with the money we were saving. The whole process was seamless and went very smoothly. A huge thank you to Megan and the whole term for a first class service!

Our advisors made our application process easy despite not being that straight forward. We are happy with the product we had been presented with and were pleased to receive a formal mortgage offer.

I will be eternally grateful for the help and support given to me by my mortgage advisor Shaun. 2 years ago I used Mortgage 1st to get my first mortgage in my own name after my change in personal circumstances. He led me through the entire process and was so professional and knowledgeable. The whole experience was positive and I was kept updated all the way through. When I was contacted to say that my current fixed term was coming to an end, it was reassuring to have Shaun on the end of the phone discussing options available to me and listening to questions that I had. He discussed a range of options and I am satisfied that he really did source the best available deal for me. The transaction to my mortgage processor Katie was smooth and effortless and she was also so professional and helpful. The speed of the whole process was amazing and I was kept informed throughout. I would definitely recommended mortgage 1st to anyone looking to remortgage or move home. Thank you so much

Carl made the whole process of renewing our mortgage simple and straight forward. He was always easy to get hold of when we had a few questions about our options and even managed to get us a better rate than if we had gone direct to the lender ourselves. Ashleigh was very efficient and kept us up to date along the way, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks both!

Unexpectedly i needed to remortgage my house as my former partner and I were going our separate ways. I had never had to do this before and had no idea of what to do or what I needed to do. I contacted Mortage 1st by email and had a response back to me within 10 minutes, vias email. 5 minutes after that i had Carl(a mortgage advisor) call me. I explained my predicament and he made me feel at ease so quickly. He explained the process in an easy way that I could understand every step of the way. He provided me with my mortgage offer, sorted out the Legal side. He then put me in touch with Kerri, who would be undertaking the collation of all paperwork and proceeded to follow my new mortgage through on my behalf. I can say honestly , that both Carl and Kerri have been brilliant. I am so glad that i came across Mortgage 1st and there BRILLIANT TEAM. The whole process is going so smoothly and quickly its great. Thankyou both from the bottom of my heart. Ian

Chris Griffiths was our mortgage advisor. He made the whole process so easy and stress free for first time buyers. Can’t thank him enough now we have our dream home. Even after he had done his part and we paid he still kept in contact asking how we were getting on. Would 100% recommend Mortgage 1st - worth every penny and more!
