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.

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.

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.

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.

After spending several months worrying about how bad our remortgage was, it was great to discuss our options and our requirements with Holly who then sorted out our best option. This was all sorted quickly and thankfully before the most recent increase in mortgage rates. Holly has helped us through 2 house purchases and 2 remortgages now, she’s fantastic at finding the best deal and laying out all options so we can make the best choice. Can’t recommend highly enough!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing customer service from start to finish, highly recommend 😊 Harriette was so professional and helpful! And took all the stress away and pretty much done everything for us. She was able to get us the cheapest rate going which we can not thank her enough.

We have used Megan at Mortgage 1st for the first time 4 years ago when we bought our first house. Being our first house the whole experience was very eye opening but Megan made this so easy for us and really did make this so smooth, especially with all my questions. Since then we have used Megan 2 years ago for our re-mortgage which as always went flawless. Most recently we have used Megan for our new application for our house move. She has answered every query we have and kept us up to date along the way and even out of her way. We really would recommend Megan t anyone considering using a broker - she really is the best and we can't thank her enough. Preet has also been a star player - making sure everything is finalised and getting the documents needed to be signed and ultimately being on point for any questions as well. We will certainly be using both Megan and Preet again, thanks both for everything. From, Mr and Mrs Truckle

Lauren Miller in the mortgage team has been absolutely fantastic helping me understand options that can help give me confidence in the current economic climate and hopefully help my family find the right home. She clearly has a wealth of experience and uses this to understand exactly what I need whilst offering support in a sensitive manner understanding how emotional the process can be for those involved. Lauren is a huge asset to Mortgage 1st and it would be a huge loss if she were to ever move on. Thanks Lauren, you are super!

Great service as usual from Mortgage 1st. I cannot recommend Megan enough! Between her and Izzy I’ve had the quickest and easiest remortgage known. Thank you ladies for taking all the worry and stress and getting things done as efficiently as you have.

Very helpful and friendly. Always advise on all options available and help the customer to make the best decision when remortgaging, especially in the current climate. Can’t thank them enough for all their help. We have used mortgage 1st since we brought our first home in December 2017 and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Within the space of a few short calls and Emails Mortgage 1st transferred me to a new product. My Lender also had the incorrect value of my property in their system. Edward contacted them and they sent a valuer to revalue it at zero cost. My property valuation in the Lenders system now reflects its current market price and we received a much better monthly repayment, as our loan to value reduced significantly.

A massive thank you to Hyat Alam and Katie Murphy they were both fantastic from the start to the end of the process. The hand holding was very needed as we were first time buyers who were a bit clueless. Cannot recommend them enough.

I contacted Craig (Stephen) at Mortgage 1st on a whim in the sea of so many providers. I truly hit jackpot because Craig was exceptional. My circumstance was fairly complicated and he navigated it with efficiency and a quiet tenacity that I have not come across in a long time. From start to finish the detail, prudence and analysis was fantastic. I finally completed, a feat that I was trying to get over the line for 4 years and thanks to Craig and his team it has been possible. In a cesspit of so much confusion, anxiety and uncertainly, I would highly recommend Craig and mortgage 1st. Truly thankful and happy to recommend. Thank you! Keep it up

Cannot recommend Megan Kearney enough!!! She always goes above & beyond and is always willing to support in any way, as well as give as much guidance along the way as possible. Many thanks to Keeley Craig also for her assistance in processing the mortgage application! Highly recommend this company and these 2 individuals in particular :)

Megan was fantastic. As always I left things until the last minute but notwithstanding this, she pulled out all the stops to get me a good product in a very trying market. Everything was explained to me clearly and the process could not have gone more smoothly.

We have been with Mortgage 1st since taking out our original mortgage, not only do they contact you well in advance of the end of your mortgage term, they have already started looking for deals by this point. Brad explained things in a way we understood, no question was too daft or a hassle and our new mortgage rate was locked in within a couple of business days. Keeley then jumped all over the paperwork side of things and again answered any questions we had. The team are always super friendly and helpful, getting back to us in a timely manner: via text, email or phonecall
