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 recently went through a mortgage product switch after my two-year fixed rate ended, and I had the pleasure of working with Wes as my mortgage adviser. From start to finish, Wes provided an exceptional service that exceeded my expectations. He took the time to thoroughly explain all the options available to me, ensuring that I had all the information needed to make an informed decision. His patience and ability to simplify complex details truly put my mind at ease. What stood out the most was how seamless and stress-free Wes made the entire process. His guidance and expertise ensured everything was handled smoothly, and I felt confident every step of the way. Additionally, Wes went above and beyond to tailor his advice to my specific circumstances, making sure the product I chose aligned perfectly with my long-term financial goals. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and approachable. I would highly recommend Wes to anyone in need of mortgage advice. His professionalism, knowledge, and customer-focused approach are second to none!

We were recommended to Paige and Laurel, and we couldn't be happier with their service! They were incredibly quick in securing us a great mortgage deal, and their communication throughout the process was flawless. They kept us informed every step of the way and made everything so easy to understand. Their professionalism and expertise really filled us with confidence. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for efficient and reliable mortgage brokers!

Was a pleasure working with Laurel Ellis and Bev Hickman on the refinance of my mortgage. Laurel was efficient in providing different options for my requirements - having worked with her in the past, this was another smooth experience! Bev was looking after the day to day approval process and an absolute star! She followed up regularly till completion and answered all my questions very efficiently.

Carl and Keeley have been amazing. Few years ago Carl helped us out to get our mortgage, and now, we didn't hesitate to contact him again to help us with our new purchase. He and his colleague not only didn't let us down, they answered the emails promptly and phoned us to keep us updated in every step. Incredible professionals, very helpful and friendly. We couldn't recommend Mortgage 1st enough.

I will to say a big thank you to Elliot skinner and Beverley Hickman of mortgage 1st for their outstanding support, they make me feel at home and feel like a family members to them. I really appreciate their quick response and encouragement. They got me a mortgage offer less than 3weeks, something that I already think is not going to be possible. These two are the best, I love them.

Working with Mortgage 1st has been nothing short of satisfying. Jordan and Keelay have been super helpful with getting us through our home buying process as first time buyers. They are so knowledgeable, and were very much available to guide us through the process patiently providing us with responses to our questions. They are so friendly and warm as well. We are very much thankful to the team.

The service that Preet has provided to me and my wife has been absolutely outstanding. Over what has been quite an extended mortgage process (through no fault of Mortgage 1st) Preet, has been a fantastic person to have on our side when dealing with our lender; always been professional, very responsive, knowledgeable, extremely tenacious, proactive, diligent, and friendly. I'm sure that Preet has sped up the process for us by at least a month or more and we couldn't be more grateful to have had them on our team.
