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.

Kirsty and Paige at Peak Mortgages and Mortgage 1st have been great so far. Helping to guide me across all points of the process. They don't mind explaining things in detail and breaking it down for you!

Just wish I would’ve used mortgage first to start with rather than messing around with other brokers as it would save me a lot of time and effort, Daniel and Paula have been great from start to finish. Definitely would recommend.

We had an amazing experience working with Lauren and Keeley at Mortgage 1st. Lauren was incredibly precise in explaining every detail — from the expected time frame of our offer to exactly how much we could expect. Everything she told us was accurate and on point! Her communication was clear, professional, and always timely. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and easy. We especially appreciated how efficient she was — every step was handled quickly and with great attention to detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage broker and highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and efficient professional to get the Mortgage offer!!

Another easy and swift service from Danny and Paige, we hit a slight bump in the road where we couldn’t move to another provider but Danny was still able to get us a great price and interest to ensure a smooth transition see you again in a couple of years!

Mortgage 1st & Peak Mortgages made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. The team were incredibly professional, friendly, and patient — always quick to respond, explain everything clearly, and make sure we got the best possible deal. Their customer service is truly exceptional — nothing was ever too much trouble, and they kept us updated every step of the way. The advice we received was honest and tailored to our situation, and the final rate they secured for us was excellent value. I also appreciated how efficient the whole process was — no unnecessary delays, everything delivered exactly when promised. We felt completely supported and in safe hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Mortgage 1st & Peak Mortgages to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring mortgage advisers. Thank you :)

We’ve tried to get on the property ladder since 2019, we contacted Mortgage 1st end of 2022 and in 2023 we became home owners. Home ownership opened for us further real estate investment possibilities. Our broker Antonia Baron is for us a miracle worker and for me personally, she is the greatest broker in the history of man kind. We could almost think that Antonia understands our needs before we email her with our request. We also would like to express our gratitude to Kelley Craig who filled us with a boost of optimism when our solicitor wouldn’t respond back while our mortgage offer had less than a month to expire. Also a huge thank you to Paige Sanderson and Tracy Jeffery all hailed as super stars + superheroes for us. Truly the Best of the Best!!!

Couldn't have asked for a more streamlined, hassle-free process. Danny and his team have been nothing shy of first class and secured us a full mortgage offer in under a month. I would not hesitate to recommend Mortgage 1st to anyone in need of mortgage assistance. Special mention to Preet Kharoud, thank you for being so helpful and prompt with your replies to my countless emails! Thank you all!
