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.

What a great company. They have so much knowledge understanding and customer care it's worth every penny of their charge. We would highly recommend this company and we tried a couple prior. They get the job done and keep you informed every step of the way. Five stars to Mortgage first

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service from Lauren Miller. She was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the whole mortgage process. Lauren explained everything clearly, kept me updated at every stage, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and easy. Highly recommended mortgage advisor.

First class from start to finish, as always. Used them before via Lauren Miller (who has been absolutely brilliant) and will use them again when I remortgage. Both Lauren’s and Hollie have been brilliant. Excellent communication and would recommend to anyone - thank you again!

Back with Elliot Skinner for my next mortgage. Good options available. Cannot fault Paige Sanderson or Elliot Skinner for their help and support. the mortgage itself did not go smoothly. We chose a mortgage that made us jump through multiple hoops and keep arranging surveys which were not acceptable to the mortgage provider. To finally get the right survey they would accept only for them to request further surveys. They created so much stress and loss of money in a 3 month period, we had no choice but to stop and not continue the application with the mortgage provider. Elliot quickly turned us a new mortgage round due to the expiry of the current one. The new mortgage provider contacted me directly and went through everything. As soon as this was done the offer came through. Thank you to the team for turning this around so quickly.

As a first time buyer I was looking for someone to 'hold my hand' through the process and i couldn't have asked for anyone better than Lucy at Mortgage 1st. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend them.

Absolutely enjoyed working with Harriette and Beverly. They made the whole process smooth and stress-free - helped to find the best deals on the market, guided through the steps of mortgage application and always reply to our emails in a blink of an eye :) Will definitely come back in the future should we need another mortgage.

I honestly can’t recommend Mortgage 1st highly enough. They made what could have been a very complicated and stressful process, especially at a difficult time, feel completely seamless. It was such a relief not having to worry about a single thing. Emma and Paige were absolutely amazing from start to finish — always supportive, professional, and reassuring, and happy to explain everything clearly along the way. The care and attention made a huge difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for all their hard work. A massive thank you to you both!
