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.

Lucy has been fantastic and we couldn't have asked for more during our mortgage application. Choosing the right mortgage and getting the best deal can be quite daunting at times but Lucy clearly explained every option and recommended the best deal that would meet our needs. Thanks to both Lucy and Sharlene Our mortgage application has been hassle free and quick to arrange so we can now look forward to hopefully completing in the next few weeks and moving into our new home. I would highly recommend Mortgage 1st and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to both friends and family. Thank you again for a great service and we look forward to using both Lucy's and Sharlene's services again in the future when we come to renew.

From the first phone call with Lauren Miller, the whole process of getting a mortgage was made easy for us. She was knowledgable and prompt in her responses and she worked above and beyond to make sure we could afford the house we wanted with a mortgage that suited our needs. No question was too much for her and she explained the whole process so well. I would highly recommend Lauren and this company.

We are so happy with the help and service we have received from Elliot and Keeley at Mortgage 1st. We have had the amazing help from Elliot and Keeley within getting a mortgage for our first home, both Elliot and keeley have been absolutely amazing, so attentive, patient and supportive throughout the whole process (which can be quite stressful) and they have both made it as easy as possible for us! The consistency shown throughout our process really helped ease our minds and made the experience really nice ! We are so grateful for all the hard work they have put into helping buy our first home. We would highly recommend Elliot and Keeley and will definitely be using them again in the future!

We tried to buy a Grade II listed house with thatched roof. We got turned down by lenders. I contacted Sam at Mortgage 1st who found us a deal, with a highly reputable lender, in days. We had the offer in literal days. So fast, so friendly and so very helpful. Sam was constantly in touch with us and he and Sharlene managed to secure a fabulous deal in record time. I cannot rate them highly enough.

We are super happy with the service we have received right from the very first call when I was looking to get a quote. Sam Hodgson was the one who answered my call and he was very friendly and helpful, even though I told him that we may not need his help. He has been great helping us to acquire our mortgage offer and now Sharlene Risden is helping us, with him too, to continue to mortgage process. She has been wonderful too! They are both very quick to get back in touch when we have asked questions or needed help and keep us up-to-date on where we are with things. I can't recommend them enough and we wouldn't hesitate to use Mortgage 1st again! I'll certainly be looking for them to help us again but I would imagine that all the agents there are excellent. :D

Great communication, very responsive, and generally excellent customer service. My advisor, Laurel Ellis, went out of her way to find the right financial solution for my needs. Both she and the mortgage processor, Sharlene Risden, both held my hand all the way through the process, unblocking issues as they arose. I would highly recommend to others.

Exceptional Service and Support from Megan Kearney at Mortgage 1st I cannot praise Megan Kearney from Mortgage 1st enough for her outstanding support and dedication throughout our mortgage process. From the moment we reached out for assistance, Megan went above and beyond to ensure that our family's needs were not just met, but exceeded. Megan's expertise and attention to detail were evident in every interaction we had with her. She took the time to thoroughly explain all aspects of the mortgage process, patiently answering our questions and guiding us through each step with clarity and professionalism. Her knowledge and guidance instilled confidence in us, making what could have been a daunting experience remarkably smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Megan apart is her genuine care and commitment to her clients. She listened attentively to our concerns and priorities, tailoring her recommendations to suit our unique situation. Her proactive communication ensured that we were always kept informed and updated, providing reassurance and peace of mind throughout the entire process. Not only did Megan secure us an excellent mortgage deal, but she also went the extra mile to advocate for us and negotiate on our behalf, demonstrating her unwavering dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for our family. Thanks to Megan's unwavering support and tireless efforts, we are now proud homeowners, and we owe it all to her expertise, dedication, and exceptional service. If you're in need of mortgage assistance, look no further than Megan Kearney at Mortgage 1st. She is truly a shining example of excellence in her field, and we are immensely grateful for all that she has done for us.
