I’m so delighted I used Jigsaw for my first purchase!
Incredible service. Lorraine and Gosia were so efficient and clear about everything. They call if there is anything urgent and also give a personal touch by calling or emailing to congratulate you – which is so appreciated in such a huge lengthy process. I’m so delighted I used Jigsaw for my first purchase as there is a lot to learn.
