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.

Jenny and Bev have been absolute superstars throughout our home-buying journey. From the very first phone call with Jenny, we immediately felt we were in safe hands. Not only was she great to talk with, but also clear and thorough in explaining all of our options. This made the process feel far less overwhelming and put us completely at ease. Bev was equally supportive, offering professional advice at just the right times. Both Jenny and Bev were consistently reliable, always available via phone or email whenever we had questions or needed reassurance. They came highly recommended to us, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone else. Thank you both!

Fantastic all round service from Chad at Mortgage 1st! Incredibly professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. What I thought would be a very difficult process has, in fact, been seamless. I’m due to complete next week and honestly can’t thank Chad and mortgage 1st enough for the service provided. Absolutely brilliant and definitely 5 star. Would highly recommend!

This was the second occasion that I have used Mortgage 1st, who assisted in arranging a remortgage following the expiry of the fixed deal they had previously assisted with. As before, Carl was a pleasure to deal with, and the whole process was very quick and straightforward. I have no hesitation in recommending prospective customers talk to Mortgage 1st when looking to arrange their mortgages.

Harriette and Keeley have been absolutely fantastic throughout our house-buying journey. They were always available with quick, professional advice whenever we needed it, and their support made the whole process so much easier. The service from start to finish has been brilliant , we even received our mortgage offer in just few days! Keeley and Harriette have been outstanding, providing first-class service, clear advice, and constant support. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their dedication truly made a huge difference for us. I can’t recommend them highly enough, if you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and supportive mortgage broker, this is the team you want by your side. Thank you so much, ladies, for everything!

I would like to take this opportunity to share my heartfelt appreciation for Harriette and the outstanding service she has provided as our mortgage advisor. From the very beginning, Harriette demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep knowledge, and a genuine commitment to ensuring that the entire process was as smooth and stress-free as possible. What stood out most was the way she consistently went above and beyond to resolve every query and concern, no matter how small. She never made me feel like any question was too much trouble, and she always provided clear, thorough explanations that gave me complete confidence in every step being taken. One of the most remarkable qualities about Harriette was her dedication. Even while she was on holiday, she still made sure to remain responsive and supportive, ensuring that no issue was left unresolved and that I always had the guidance I needed. This level of commitment is truly rare and speaks volumes about both her professionalism and her genuine care for her clients. Harriette’s patience, attention to detail, and ability to remain calm and reassuring throughout what can often be a stressful process has made a world of difference. Thanks to her hard work and persistence, many challenges that could have caused delays or complications were dealt with swiftly and effectively. In every sense, Harriette has been an exceptional advisor , approachable, reliable, and highly professional. I cannot thank her enough for all the support she has provided, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of mortgage advice. She is an absolute credit to her profession and to the company she represents.

From the very start of the remortgage process, right through to the completion (and a little beyond!), Oliver Page of mortgage 1st has been absolutely brilliant! His knowledge and professionalism really put us at ease during what can be a very stressful time. Oliver and his colleagues made sure we were kept informed every step of the way, answered any questions we had, and always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with all the details before proceeding. Thanks so much Oliver, you’re an absolute star and we hope your hardwork and dedication to your customers is as appreciated by mortgage 1st, as much as you deserve! THANK YOU
