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.

I am very pleased with working with 1st Mortgage. My broker is Chris and I couldn't be happier with the service he supplies. Keeps me updated on all aspects of the process. I am 100% satisfied that I'm getting the best product.

Really happy with the service that I received from both Mat and Bev at Mortgage 1st. Timely, responsive and accurate. Mat took the time to listen to my needs and what I wanted from a reportage, went away and found just what I wanted, couldn't be happier. Bev followed up with details of what happens moving forward very quickly. I would highly recommend for all your mortgage and reportage needs!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Outstanding We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Mortgage 1st. We knew Emma from before and she knows our situation well, she took the time to really understand our needs this time and explain every step. It's always quite stressful but it was made smooth and straightforward as possible. They were always quick to respond to my questions, kept me informed at every stage, and went above and beyond to find the best deal for our situation. If you’re looking for a mortgage advisor who combines expertise with genuine care for their clients, I can’t recommend them enough.

We are both in our 70’s and Chad was not at all phased by our age. He was tenacious and worked non- stop until he found us a mortgage that suited our requirements and price. How the mortgage market has changed our last mortgage was over 50 years ago and Chad held our hand and slowly took us through it - Hurrah he’s your man with Preet alongside and supported him, they deliver !

From first contact through to Mortgage offer, they were always available via email or phone. First time a mortgage application was simple and relatively stress free. Highly recommended.

We were really struggling with the amount of debt we were repaying each month, Chris at Peak Mortgages was so helpful, he talked through the options and got us a great remortgage offer which will completely turn around our financial situation over night. Beverley at Mortgage 1st was also great, she made everything seem so simple and the whole process was so quick from start to finish.

Mortgage 1st (Danny in particular) have again been fantastic. Money, finances and mortgages aren't the easiest of things to understand, especially in my current situation with potentially selling and Danny has been so helpful, reassuring and made the process so easy...even with last minute changes. I will use Danny and Mortgage 1st again and again and would recommend 100%.

I could not recommend Dale highly enough in challenging circumstances he came through with multiple lending options quickly when alternative mortgage advisors had previously said would not be possible. 10/10 from Dale and his communication and most importantly speed was excellent! Also great work from the mortgage processing team (Keeley) keeping things efficient and easy to navigate throughout. I could not recommend the team at Mortgage first more and I have dealt with a lot of different advisors in the past. 5 stars.

We heard about Mortgage 1st via a family member and Dan Passmore has been absolutely amazing. He takes plenty of time to fully explain everything, which has been great for us as first time buyers. He is always polite and professional and we couldn't reccomend him, and the whole team more.

It's been a very good ride so far with mortgage 1st. I searched for them on Google, and engaged them based on positive reviews. We have really been impressed with the speed of response from Curtis and Becky. Kudos.

Edward and Becky have been outstanding both with my request for a new mortgage and remortgage requests. The attention to detail and clear and regular communication have made what is always a stressful experience much more bearable. Thank you !

Edward was an absolute pleasure to liaise with, a very calm, knowledgeable and kind person. Nothing was too much to ask from him & I'm grateful for him keeping me calm and fully updated. Without him this would've been a much tougher process. Thank you Edward, you're a star!!!

What a wonderful service we have had from the initial conversation with Anya to the nearly final part with Paige(not quite finished yet). It has been a 5 star service from the beginning, always willing to answer any questions and keep us uplifted when it felt like things were getting tough. Highly recommend this service and these 2 individuals who really have been amazing and I thank them so much for their help and support through this process.

It has come to our remortgage and Daniel Sykes could not have been anymore helpful. He came to us with plenty of time spare and had everything sorted within no time. Both himself and Hannah have been so much help getting everything in place, giving me and my partner time to relax! Look forward to the next remortgage!
