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.

We are so incredibly happy with the service provided by mortgage 1st, especially with Jenny Curtis who has been our mortgage advisor through this stressful time. She has been available whenever we need her advice and has made the process of obtaining our mortgage much easier and will talk over the phone or via email and keeps us updated. Lauren Webster has also been amazing during our mortgage application and has been keeping us updated on the process. Very very happy with the service we have received!

I honestly couldn’t be happier with the service Lucy and Katie provided while sorting my mortgage. From start to finish they were professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive. They explained everything clearly, kept me updated at every stage, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. They went above and beyond to find the best option for me and were always quick to answer any questions I had, no matter how small. I always felt like I was in safe hands. I’d highly recommend Lucy and Katie to anyone looking for mortgage advice — they’re an amazing team and made the whole experience a really positive one.

We have had Julie (Mortgage & Protection Advisor) and Paula (Mortgage Processor) looking after us over the last few weeks supporting us with getting our first mortgage to buy our first home. They have been nothing short of brilliant. Such lovely, friendly people and nothing is too much trouble. Everything has been explained so clearly to us and when we have had questions they have responded so promptly. They have made the process feel so much smoother than we ever expected it could and from our first contact with Julie to receiving our mortgage offer took less than 3 weeks! Absolutely brilliant service, would highly recommend and definitely worth the money. Thanks so so much!

Came to Gaz at mortgage 1st & peak mortgages for a top up loan on our existing mortgage, always nothing but honesty from start to finish, been in touch quite a few times over the past 6 months or so and finally was able to give him the green light. Gaz won’t waste your time or get your hopes up, nothing but honesty from the get go. Thank you again everyone :) Katie & Karl

Lauren has been nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, she has been an absolute powerhouse: responsive, endlessly patient and completely on top of every single detail. Mortgages can be stressful and overwhelming, but Lauren made the entire process feel seamless, smooth, and even enjoyable (which I didn’t think was possible!).

We honestly can’t thank Nicola enough for the incredible support she gave us while arranging our second charge mortgage. From start to finish, she was absolutely outstanding. What could have been a stressful and complicated process felt easy and smooth because of her. Nicola was proactive, organised, and incredibly assertive in making sure everything progressed quickly and efficiently. She kept us informed at every stage and was always one step ahead, which gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her dedication to getting everything sorted as quickly as possible truly made all the difference. We are so grateful for her hard work, professionalism, and genuine care. Nicola is an absolute asset to the company, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much again, we really appreciate everything you’ve done for us!
