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.

This is the second mortgage Megan has sourced for me and it is safe to say after this experience, Megan will have all my future business. 6 weeks prior to the stamp duty cut off, we decided to purchase a new build with no chain. Due to the incompetence of the estate agent and seller's solicitor, the sale was put in jeopardy, saved by Megan on numerous occasions. Megan is tenacious, straightforward and very knowledgeable and I am confident in her ability to ensure progress when various issues arise. I would 100% recommend her to friends and family (and will) and we're over the moon with our new house - thank you

This is the second mortgage Iv placed with mortgage 1st, particularly Danny Skyes who has been amazing both times. We often have had comments on how fast our mortgage / re-mortgage went through. He’s so efficient and does everything in his power to ensure he find the best deals for customers. He provided us with every single detail we required and broke everything down to us to allow us to understand as being first time buyers the mortgage world can be rather confusing. He’s in contact regularly providing updates on the whole process and we cannot thank him enough for everything he’s done for us over the last year and half. We already know that when the time comes when we need a new deal Danny will be our first point of contact.

When everyone's telling you that you won't be able to get the mortgage you need it's great to find a broker who not only has a positive outlook but also delivers! Working with Chris Dunn at Mortgage1st was a pleasure and took much of the stress out of the mortgage application/offer process

I highly recommend using Mortgage 1st. Shaun gave us amazing advice throughout our experience of buying our first home. Our time with Mortgage 1st was short and sweet, only taking 7 weeks from first viewing to getting the keys. Shaun was there for us from beginning to end and really made everything clear for us first time buyers. And a huge thank you to the admin team for processing our documents so quickly!

Absolutely first class service. From start to finish nothing was to small to ask, very in-depth and reassuring during a stressful time applying for a mortgage being first time buyers. Especially Dan and Beverly

We have always had a great experience using Mortgage 1st. Megan provided good advice throughout, and her knowledge made the whole process seamless. We have used Mortgage 1st for two purchases now, one of which involved ‘help to buy’, and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks to Megan, Jon and the team for their help.

Chris Dunn was excellent from start to finish. As a first time buyer he made the entire process easy and provided me the transparency on the aspects of mortgages and housing finance I was yet to understand. Hollie made the mortgage application process a smooth one and kept me up to date with any activity. Thanks to both and I would highly recommend to anyone else looking for some mortgage advice.

Natalie was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We are first time buyers so had a lot of questions around the process and what to expect and Natalie was always happy to answer. She worked tirelessly, literally day and night to get us the right mortgage. No task too big or small. The whole experience felt personalised and like Natalie genuinely cared about getting us the right deal and the right mortgage. Not to mention everything was done really quickly. It saved us a lot of time and confusion having someone experienced dealing with our application from start to finish and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Natalie and to use her again in future.

My mortgage advisor Elliott Skinner was the best! He made the whole process so easy! Nothing was ever too much trouble. As it was our first time remortgaging there was a lot we didn’t understand but Elliott took his time to explain everything and I can’t thank him enough. I will 100% use him again for future remortgaging. Thanks again!

Highly recommend to everyone! thank you so much to Megan Kearney & Beverly who worked above and beyond to get our mortgage accepted before the Stamp duty holiday and saved us more money than we expected! We had a few problems arise our end but nothing was too much and they really cared. Something we never experienced with a mortgage broker. We couldn’t have done it without you guys! Best team around!

Since I've been getting in touch with the Mortgage 1st, Elliot has been with us. I am gladly happy to meet with him. From the first day, he always answered my emails promptly, although I've sent them in the middle of the night. It is very obvious that he loves his job. He recommended the best solution and always did his best. He never misleads us and always explains the next stage of the process. If you have any doubt please just trust him. I met 8 different mortgage advisers and none of them offered us but Elliot. We happily received our mortgage offer recently. His partner Katie is also great! She’s run all the documents part professionally. All our questions are answered with no doubt. It is never enough but once again thank you for everything, we really appreciated your service!

We were so impressed with his professionalism, care, attention and rapid responses to virtually any question we had. He reassured us and informed us all the way through the process and sorted everything we needed! Can’t rate Shaun and his team enough! Thank you so much!
