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.

Fast and efficient. Helped me get a far better deal than I could find anywhere else. Keeley (broker) and Paige (administrator) were a great team and helped guide me and my partner through the process.

I can't rate Mortgage 1st highly enough. I found a house I was really interested in but it was for sale by modern auction so time was of the essence. I reached out to Laurel on Friday afternoon and she processed all my information and organised all the documents I needed OVER THE WEEKEND so that she could get me an Offer in Principal first thing Monday morning, which she did!! My offer was accepted on the house and I was then looked after by Keeley who was extremely patient and informative throughout the entire process - both self-employed, one with relatively new LTD company, the other applicant with questionable credit in the past! However, they came up trumps and we got an official offer in a couple of weeks. The process was extremely smooth and we were kept informed throughout. I never felt rushed while I was dealing with them and they took the time to explain every part of the process. I highly recommend them.

Working with Carl as my mortgage advisor was an absolute pleasure! His expertise, professionalism, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Carl's personalised approach and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I'm incredibly thankful for his assistance and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of mortgage advice.

Lucy Woodhouse helped us with our re-mortgage. She was really flexible in her approach, she explained the different options clearly and helped guide us through the process smoothly with excellent communication at every stage. It couldn't have been easier and we'd highly recommend her services to anyone looking to go through the same process.

Great service by Elliot and Paige. After a house sale fell through due to being overvalued and then finding another house whilst mortgage rates are still going up has been a nightmare but Elliot and Paige pulled through again and even got me a cheaper rate and a mortgage offer within a week. Excellent service and great communication

From start to finish the process has been nothing short of exceptional. The service me and my partner received from Sophie Weaver was amazing. She gave us all the relevant information communicating with us throughout the process ensuring all our needs were met and any queries were answered promptly. Also a positive mention to preet who completed the application for us who all the above also applies. We received our mortgage offer this morning and we cannot thank Sophie and Preet enough. Thank you again and we wish you all the best in the future.
