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.

Megan Kearney has been fantastic in assisting us with our mortgage application, her knowledge and dedication is second to none. She often answered questions from me at obscure times and days when she could have just waited until the morning. She is an absolute credit to the company. Thank you very much for making the whole process as stress free as possible. Would not hesitate to recommend her and your company.

We were moving house and was given the details of Nikki from Mortgage1st to help with our move. She was superb and helped us in every stage of the process and kept us up to date on the progress of the mortgage and ensured that everything was easy to understand and exactly the costs involved. Nikki was extremely friendly and understood all of our needs for the new mortgage. Would absolutely recommend Nikki to help anyone.

Megan from Mortgage 1st was a absolute superstar. From start to finish, you can tell she’s passionate about her job & she always kept us updated and was great at ensuring the job was done to a high standard. I would always recommend using mortgage first and their fees are really competitive! Any questions I had were always answered. 100% effort went in at all times. SO HAPPY! Got the house, incredible rates on the mortgage when another broker failed for 4 months at a different company!! Well impressed with Megan!

I was a first time buyer and i had no idea what i was doing when i got in touch with Faye from mortgage first. It was all very confusing and i was nervous about buying my first home. She made it so much easier for me. Whenever i was unsure or uncertain of something, if i emailed with a question or called, I’d get a reply almost straight away. I felt so reassured, more confident and very supported throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend Mortgage 1st

We have chosen Mortgage 1st after few bad experience with other Mortgage Brokers. Carl, our mortgage advisor was by far one of the best mortgage advisors we’ve ever dealt with. He was very knowledgable, experienced and no question was left with no answer at the end of a conversation. Communication was also fantastic. Chelsea (mortgage processor) was updating us with the latest news in regards to the mortgage progression so never had to chase. A fantastic service overall, strongly recommend.

Megan for Mortgage First was by far the best mortgage advisor we have ever been lucky enough to find. She was incredible from start to finish with our mortgage needs. We had some complications with the first property we planned to buy but luckily we found an alternative property to purchase. Megan was superb with this transition and made everything as easy as possible for us. During one of the most stressful times of our lives Megan simply made the mortgage side of things effortless for us and we could not be more grateful for her. I would highly recommend her and Mortgage first to anyone and everyone. Our whole experience was second to none and we would not hesitate to use her or mortgage first again. Thank you for everything!

Very happy with the customer service. Extremely helpful in every aspect. Only issue I had was being referred to the worst conveyancing solicitor company I have every used. Which made the purchase a huge pain.

Hi Liam. Thank you for your review and feedback, we are sorry to hear that the solicitors service wasn't to standard. We take feedback seriously and have now changed the solicitors that we work with as we expect them to provide our clients with the same high levels of service that we provide. Hope we can be of assistance again in the future. Kind regards, the Mortgage 1st team

I couldn't recommend 1st Mortgages enough, especially Eddy who has not only helped me with advice but reassured me when at one point I thought it wasn't going my way, he re assessed things and brought another mortgage to me. He has been so helpful and friendly and has made sure I am happy with everything before continuing with anything. He has helped with life insuance, home buyers survey, mortgage and will service. I couldn't be happier and can't wait to now move in my new home.
