Testimonials

My husband and I recently worked with Gosia & Lorraine from Jigsaw Financial Solutions to secure a mortgage for our first home and we could not be happier with the experience. From our initial consultation they were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, guiding us through every step of the process. Lorraine and Gosia both took the time to understand our situation and our long term goals which made us confident in our decisions. They provided clear explanations of different mortgage options ensuring we understood the pros and cons of each. What impressed us most was their responsiveness, whenever we had a question or concern they were just a call or email away, readily available to led assistance. Thanks to Lorraine and Gosia we feel prepared and excited as we take this big step into home ownership. We highly recommend Jigsaw Financial Solutions to anyone looking for trustworthy and skilled financial advisor. Thank you Lorraine and Gosia for everything!

Daphne & Andrew

Lorraine and Gosia were a huge help to us, guiding us through the process of moving our mortgage and financing a house renovation. Their expertise and support were invaluable and gave us great peace of mind through what can be a stressful process. I recommend Jigsaw to anyone who is considering their options in relation to mortgages or refinancing.

We have now worked with Lorraine on buying an apartment, then our house and now this renovation project and have total faith in her expertise and knowledge of the market. It helps take away a lot of the stress to have someone watching out for you and guiding you through what can be a complicated process. Renovating the house has made a huge difference to our comfort and it is a much better place for our kids to live and to grow up. We’re delighted we took this step.

John & Darina

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. It really took a lot of the stress out of things, plus they find the perfect mortgage to suit you and your career and what you hope to gain from your new place. Thank you so much!!! I will be back if I buy again.

Clare Dunne

We are so grateful to Gosia and Lorraine for all of their help with our mortgage and life policies. From our first meeting, we felt that Gosia listened to and understood our needs. There was no question too small or silly – she was continually available to us and we felt her support through the whole process. The team are so knowledgeable and we found their advice to be spot on at each stage. We feel that our success in securing our mortgage and home is in large part due to the dedication of Gosia and Lorraine as we were under tight time constraints. We would recommend them to anyone looking for personal and dedicated service which is both highly professional and uniquely tailored.

We couldn’t recommend them any more highly – they are the best out there! Thank you so much.

Sinéad Hayes & Yann Mahuet

We cannot thank Lorraine and Gosia enough – from our very first conversation right through to closing on our new home, they have been absolutely amazing every step of the way!

We were seeking a new mortgage as we had outgrown our starter home, and wanted to look at life cover also as (two kids later!) our situation was vastly different from our first mortgage application. We contacted Jigsaw on a recommendation from a colleague as applying directly through our Bank was proving challenging (one of us is a shift worker and we are unmarried – not that unusual you would think!!) and painfully slow.

Lorraine and Gosia were incredibly informed and their advice and guidance navigating our mortgage application, understanding our life cover needs and shortfalls, and the options available to us, was invaluable.

Nothing was too much trouble and no question was a silly question!

We honestly cannot recommend Jigsaw Financial Solutions highly enough. Their very reasonable fee was worth every penny for the outstanding service we received, and how easy and effortless everything was.

Thank you so much Lorraine & Gosia!

Denise Allen & Jake McLoughlin

During the process of applying for a mortgage in 2019, Lorraine and I discussed Income Protection and its benefits. Unfortunately, upon application, I was rejected for Income Protection (due to my BMI). Lorraine suggested I consider applying for a Specified Illness Policy, which she felt was a really good option for me and would offer financial security in the event that became unwell with an illness covered under the policy. I took Lorraine’s advice and took out the policy in late 2019.
Fast forward to less than 4 years later, in March 2023, I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. This was huge news to process, a radical Hysterectomy followed in July 2023, and our lives forever altered. Lorraine gently encouraged me to make a claim on my Specified Illness Policy, I worried my illness wasn’t ‘bad enough’ as I didn’t need chemo and it was early stage cancer.
Thankfully, my illness was covered, despite its early staging, and I received a significant lump sum payment in October2023. This payout has allowed me to take more time off work to recover from my illness. I am very grateful to Lorraine for suggesting I take out the Specified Illness Policy. It has helped make a difficult time less stressful and given me precious time away from work which I would not have been able to afford otherwise.

D. Smith

Where do I start with Gosia and Lorraine. You are most certainly at a huge loss if you have not had the pleasure of dealing with these two earth angels. They honestly take to the next level when it comes to service delivery and make your mortgage process stress free. From the moment they take the call from you to you signing on the dotted line and getting your keys, they are on the journey with you.

This is not your run of the mill broker and when they support you through this journey it is a very personal experience. They really do help you along every single step of the way and no task is too much hassle for them. I’ve never had to chase them for anything. It was all done, and you are kept informed along the whole process. This is the second house I bought with Lorraine and Gosia and I truly believe they are exemplars in their field. The experience is so personal. They are both amazing and alone they could rule the world. They have made an independent mommy and her little son very happy as we enter into our new home that without their help could not have happened as smoothly as it did.  The gratitude I have for Lorraine and Gosia is hard to put into words.

1000% recommend this service for all your mortgage and life cover needs. They are also worth every penny and very competitive cost for the actual service you get.

Audrey 

Helped us swap mortgage to get the best value for money. Always full of knowledge & helpful advice. Second time using the team at Jigsaw. Will always recommend.

Ann-Marie Thompson & Robert Lawlor

My husband and I have were looking for a full financial review and advice on how we could make our money and assets work in a more efficient way for us. Lorraine and Gosia were so incredibly helpful. They guided us through the whole process and explained everything in a clear and concise way. Another major plus is they have a great network of folks like solicitors to get further support on if needed. I highly recommend their service.

Andrea Attard

I would highly recommend the Jigsaw team to anyone getting ready to find a new home. Gosia and Lorraine were an amazing resource throughout the very stressful homebuying process. So quick to respond and always with honest and thoughtful responses and recommendations on what do next.

Andy Clark 

I honestly can’t recommend Jigsaw Financial enough to do it justice. This is the second time I have used them and their service could not be better.

Lorraine and Gosia go above and beyond to make sure all aspects of getting a mortgage are stress free and as smooth as possible.

Any queries I had were answered in minutes and they honestly took the stress out of getting mortgage approval and life insurance, mortgage protection etc.

If you are looking for any financial needs then look no further because you will not find anyone better.

Ian Howlett

I began the process of attempting to secure a mortgage at the start of the year. A good friend recommended that I contact Jigsaw Finance to assist me in this and so I did. They were extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. They talked me through the process step by step and were more than patient with me in explaining in detail what I needed to do to secure a loan. I am now a proud homeowner all thanks to their help. I want to say a huge thank you to Lorraine and Gosia for all their help.

Thank you so much again, you were both very professional and friendly to deal with.

Eoin O’Brien

We recently used Jigsaw Financial Solutions to arrange our mortgage as first-time buyers. I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided by both Lorraine and Gosia, which was just fantastic! From the first step all the way to draw down, they couldn’t have been more helpful and efficient.

Thank you both so much for everything. We will have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family.

Kate Duffy & Niall Ronayne

Lorraine and Gosia have been fantastic to deal with. Right from the beginning, they were nothing but efficient and friendly. They were always on hand to answer our questions. They completely streamlined the process of applying for a mortgage and obtained the approval we needed to get our dream home, so we are forever grateful to them both. I would highly recommend Jigsaw Financial to anyone looking to apply for a mortgage.

Janet & Miroslav Majtner 

Lorraine and Gosia are the absolute best! I was purchasing a house on my own and really had no knowledge of the process ahead of me. The girls made the journey so seamless and stress free. Nothing was a problem and the communication was excellent. They are so efficient and their knowledge, advice and guidance is second to none! I will definitely be recommending them to my friends/family and hope to use them myself again in the future. Thanks again girls, couldn’t have done it without you both!

Siobhan O’Rourke

Lorraine and Gosia were simply fantastic, we would definitely recommend them – have since to both family and friends! Unbelievably helpful, accommodating and always quick to respond to any of our multiple queries. They simplified our entire mortgage process while eliminating much of the stress and worry (you do hear of such horror stories). Wonderful to have such a personable approach and not feel like just another number.

We also used Lorraine as our financial advisor while trying to sort trough various issues following a bereavement. I only wish we had contacted her sooner as her support, guidance and action was invaluable.

Grace Keane & Barry Neill

Gosia and Lorraine were a wealth of knowledge throughout this process. They were so responsive to every email and phone call and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. They worked so hard to get this over the line for us and we would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Jessica and Stephen

I found the team at Jigsaw incredibly helpful and prompt in their responses. They took a lot of the heavy lifting out of the process for me. Thank you to all.

Derek Habington

Thanks to them we felt always taken care of. They helped us with all the questions we had an guided us through the entire process, advising us, dealing with the Banks on our behalf, and ensuring the success of the purchase.

Daniel Diez Merida & Erika Gilli

From the get-go, Lorraine and Gosia were immensely helpful and regardful, always putting everything in simple, understandable terms so we could feel secure throughout the whole process. We were always duly informed of any updates and documentation we need to provide, as well as what were our best options considering our specific situation.

We’re very happy with our choice and thankful to Jigsaw for the amazing services provided!

Gabriel & Helena 

Lorraine and Gosia were referred to us by friends and it is safe to say that we would not be moving to our first home without their services. Our case was particularly complicated and they were there for us through our entire journey. We don’t have enough words to thank them for helping us make our dream come true. We already recommended them to 5 other couples and we will keep recommending them as absolutely everything about our experience is a testament to their commitment and the quality of their service.

Thank you, Lorraine and Gosia!!!

Matheus Gomes & Stefany Pinho

Jigsaw were wonderful to deal with. They explained everything really clearly, helped us throughout the process and were very responsive when we had queries. I would highly recommend them.

Cathal & Siobhan McCauley

We made contact with Lorraine when we were buying our first house, upon the recommendation of another couple. From the very beginning and right until the day the keys were handed over, Lorraine was consistently available, more than on top of everything and we always felt that she had everything very much under control. There were no silly questions, an unlimited amount of queries from us, and she had things completed before we even had to think about it. When we sold and bought again, we immediately went back to Lorraine,  who again just sorted everything like the professional she is. Her knowledge, communication and aptitude for financing and mortgages is unmatched. After one conversation, you can instantly feel that she is extremely capable and will do everything to a level of perfection that is hard to find. When it comes to something so huge like buying a house, having someone like Lorraine guiding you through it is invaluable.

Coran & Trisha Corbett

We were introduced to Lorraine at the beginning of the summer this year and we have just completed a remortgage, and also switched providers for mortgage protection and life cover at the same time. Lorraine and Gosia from Jigsaw literally did everything for us once we provided the info and details they required. When we took out our initial mortgage, dealing with the bank was very painful, this time around they made dealing with the bank very straightforward and were able to guide us through the process in a stress free way. We would have no hesitation recommending Jigsaw for anyone looking to get a mortgage, remortgage or general financial advice.

Ben & Hazel Greer

As a “complicated” applicant we had previously engaged unsuccessfully with banks directly and with other brokers to try and get a mortgage to purchase our family home. We were introduced to Jigsaw as “people who are very experienced and who work closely with their clients”. While we went into the process with trepidation, we were blown away by the commitment, understanding and tenacity of Lorraine and the team. Lorraine and Gosia worked closely with us to understand our situation and package our application in such a way as to guarantee a favorable outcome. They were always at the end of the phone/email to answer queries and help us through the process. Going from people who were told “you’ll never get a mortgage” to getting a mortgage and buying our dream house is because of Jigsaw and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Simon Travers

It’s been a pleasure dealing with Lorraine and Gosia at Jigsaw Financial. They’ve been so easy to speak with and informative about the processes for a mortgage application and the many options available. Their quick responses to any questions I’ve had and aid in ensuring documents are correctly completed and providing updates from the application progression from the bank has been a great relief.

Overall they’ve provided a great service and prompt responses when I had issues or questions.

Shane Giggins

Lorraine and Gosia made the process of applying for a mortgage so simple for us. Their can-do attitude and willingness to engage positively and quickly to any questions/requests was second to none, guiding us seamlessly through the process. They gave sound and confident advice on which mortgage provider to go with based on our specific set of circumstances saving us time and stress. As a result we knew what the requirements for our chosen provider were from the outset which made getting the documents/information together for the application easy for us. This felt like a short cut through the plethora of mortgage options, providing us with targeted products to choose from. Our perfect home came to market and we needed to rush through the mortgage application and get approval to secure it asap and this was done with apparent ease and as speedily as possible by Jigsaw. They also were able to provide updates on the application progress which was key for us – and we felt would not have had access to updates as readily had we applied for the mortgage directly. Thank you both so much for your incredible professionalism and for being so lovely to work with.

Suzanne Behan 

If you are looking for a mortgage broker there is only one place to go and it’s Jigsaw Financial Solutions! Lorraine and Gosia made the daunting process of trying to get a mortgage simple. Not only are they both friendly, they were always on hand to answer any questions and made sure every document was correct so that everything went as smooth as possible. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage. Thanks a million for all the hard work and help.

Darragh Dunne

Jigsaw Financial Solutions handle all our financial affairs from mortgage, life insurance, income protection to investment funds. Myself and my husband are clients for over 10 years now. Their professionalism is second to none and their fast and effective service made the process of switching mortgage this year as painless as possible! I highly recommend both Lorraine and Gosia for any financial matters. Their strength lies in always putting their customers at the centre  of their recommendation. Their process of signing documents remotely is a huge plus in these times of working from home as access to printers and scanners is no longer easy.

Sabrina McDonnell  

Thank you both so much for all your help, guidance and efforts on our behalf. It was brilliant for us, as two first-time buyers, to have the benefit of your advice & knowledge.  From our first meeting, you explained everything to us clearly, talked us trough the various mortgage options, and made it easy for us to understand what was best for us and what we needed to do. It took a lot of stress out of the process & definitely helped us avoid some problems.

We really appreciate your diligence in double-checking our documentation and keeping us informed the whole way trough the process, from applying for the mortgage to finally closing on the house. Thank you also for being so available to us anytime that we had a question to ask.  As you know, you came highly recommended from a relative of mine who has worked with you to buy several houses, and I also won’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for mortgage advice. Thank you for everything!

Peter Roddy & Alana O’Brien

Gosia and Lorraine are extremely thorough and helpful – shepherding me through the very complex process of buying a house. I couldn’t have done it without them!

Not only am I super chuffed about taking the recommendation to work with them but also that I took all THEIR recommendations for surveyors and solicitors. They never steered me wrong once!

Super friendly, accommodating, helpful and highly highly recommended!

Penny Gray

Jigsaw Financial Solutions was the mortgage broker for the house that we purchased in April this year. Lorraine and Gosia were extremely helpful, open, transparent, reliable through the whole process. They really cared about us, understood our needs from the very first day and gave us advice through the process.

Milisav Stegnjaic & Kitti Lajos

We had a pleasure of using Jigsaw Financial Solutions as part of our family house buying process. Given the current market volatility, high competition and constantly evolving requirements from the banks, we are very happy to have chosen to partner with Lorraine and Gosia. They have been extremely helpful in demystifying every single stage of the mortgage process, from explaining and teaching us how to be wise about house hunting, preparation for bank applications, to the intricacies of the process itself and then supporting us through a successful mortgage approval and final closing.

They supported us up to the point where we got our keys and were always available to take a call and address any of our concerns. I think the biggest strength that they have (apart from all the technical expertise of their business) is the patience and a very carefully adopted approach that is tailored to the requirements of the client. They didn’t just give us the difficult explanations and quick answers (like many consultancies do), but they took time to explain and clarify everything that we didn’t understand (and as first time buyers, there were many things that were unclear to us!).

I would hand on heart recommend anyone to use their service and would highlight how important it is to partner with someone who dedicates time to you – unconditionally, since they don’t take any fee from us for their consulting service, other than a small administration charge for the application itself – which, based on my own research of the market, is one of the most competitive ones out there). On top of that, they were our one stop shop for all associated insurance and income protection set-ups. I can proudly say that we will keep using them as our only financial advisors.

Andrius Antanaitis & Karolina Neuronyte

Lorraine and Gosia from Jigsaw Financial Solutions have been a huge support to us right from the beginning of this process. Their advice and guidance on selling our properties and their help arranging the new mortgage and everything that goes with it, was invaluable.

Their approach to clients is their real strong point. They were always available, everything was very clearly explained and nothing was too much trouble. Their documentation is all digital and we could sign everything remotely which made the process even more seamless for us.

Having their expert view of the market and the various products and services available to us was indispensable. I would have no reservations recommending Jigsaw and the team there to anyone who is currently considering their mortgage options and who need sound, straightforward financial advice in their corner, stepping into what would have otherwise been a very daunting process without them by our side.

Brendan Geoghegan

We just completed a remortgage which we arranged through Jigsaw. Lorraine and Gosia from Jigsaw brought us through the range of options and mortgage providers and we got great independent advice from them. They are professional, friendly and very helpful. They made dealing with the bank very straightforward and were able to guide us through the process in a stress free way. We would recommend Jigsaw for anyone looking to get a mortgage, remortgage or financial advice.

Mark Brady & Adela Campo Portal

We are very glad we decided to work with Lorraine and Gosia at Jigsaw Financial Solutions. They are very attentive, responsive, thorough and super organized.
Lorraine is a subject matter expert, and championed our case with the bank when we were about to give up. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Rob Evans & Ildiko Kiss

My application for a mortgage was not straightforward as I am self-employed, in a business that was closed during covid, a single applicant, and without a perfect credit history. I went through 2 different brokers before finding Jigsaw, both of whom were not able to secure a mortgage for me and I was sure that getting one was not possible given my circumstances. A friend recommended Jigsaw so I tried them as a last resort, and I’m glad I did. From the beginning it was a much better service than the previous brokers I had. Not only was the mortgage secured in the end, I found Lorraine and Gosia to be approachable, and they made the process of applying less stressful than before. I never felt uncomfortable due to the difficulties in my application which was something I had experienced before. My calls were always answered, and my many emails were promptly replied. I felt assured that there was someone actually trying for me. Dealing with them was a breath of fresh air. For me, the process of getting my mortgage was stressful and difficult and I’d recommend anyone that’s about to go through it to start with Jigsaw first.

Sinead Cornally

As first time buyers everything was so new to us but Lorraine and Gosia are so knowledgeable and professional – they just made the process so seamless, in what can be a really stressful time.
From the outset on our initial call we knew what to expect and they were so responsive and patient with the many questions we had throughout the process. Thank you both so much for all your help. We will definitely be recommending Jigsaw Financial.

Aisling Brennan & Steven Brabazon

I honestly don’t know how we would have managed the whole mortgage process without Lorraine and Gosia to keep us calm, and guide us through it. At every step they were there to explain what was needed and take the pressure of us.

If you are a first time buyer and simply must use a broker and I would recommend Jigsaw finance to everyone.

Derek & Sinead Byrne

Patience and care don’t even begin to describe the team at Jigsaw Finance. As first-time buyers, we found the mortgage process to be so intimidating by ourselves but were recommended Jigsaw Finance by a close friend and everything became much easier.

From following up with banks, to comparing insurance policies for our personal circumstances and even accommodating early morning calls due to hospital shift cycles, the team in Jigsaw Finance were ever professional and understanding.

No question went unanswered. Gosia and Lorraine were exceptional to work with and without question, using the services of Jigsaw Finance was one of the best decisions we have made.

Highly recommend for first-time buyers and those looking for dependable and responsive team members to help them through this process.

Alison Hackett & Stuart Gray

It has been a pleasure to work with Lorraine and Gosia over the last year or more. Due to Covid we met many delays which were frustrating but simple for us as we had the knowledge and experience of Jigsaw on our side.

We have no doubt we are where we are today because of their hard work and determination.

We look forward to working with Jigsaw again in the future.

Michelle & Derek Browne

I would highly recommend Jigsaw Financial Solutions to anyone seeking mortgage approval. Lorraine and Gosia were great to deal with throughout the entire process. They provided great support and advice at all stages, which was invaluable to me as a single applicant first time buyer. They were diligent and professional and very proactive in making sure things progressed in a timely manner, even during the height of covid restrictions. They were also so friendly when responding to queries and always took time to give good explanations in their responses. I felt that I could really trust them and I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.

Neil Bruton

Jigsaw Financial Solutions had been recommended to us by a family member with the hope that we could secure a mortgage for our 1st home. We didn’t hold much hope to begin with to be honest but from the outset Lorraine and Gosia were very positive and helpful. Throughout the process we found them to be extremely professional, diligent, proactive and most of all approachable and easy to talk to. They were always there to answer any question no matter what it was. Given the current covid situation and everything taking a little longer, Lorraine and Gosia were able to ensure the application moved forward and managed to give us comfort when we worried about this. They made the process easy for us. We can not speak highly enough of the Jigsaw team and we recommend them to anyone, including our own families.

Aidan Reynolds & Ruth Maguire

We would like to wholeheartedly thank Lorraine and her team at Jigsaw Financial Solutions for all their help in assisting us in getting our mortgage. Being self employed, we found Lorraine’s knowledge and advice priceless, in getting us from the application to mortgage approval stage. They pulled out all the stops to get us into our new home in time for Christmas. They have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We have also used them for business purposes and we really look forward to continue to use them in the future. We strongly recommend them and would like to take this opportunity to wish them continued success in 2021.

Celine & Dave Caffrey

Lorraine & Gosia made switching our Mortgage so easy and quick especially in the tough times of Covid 19. We got our original Mortgage trough Jigsaw and we look forward to many more years of working with them.

Scott & Leonie Clarke

At the start of 2020 I decided to take stock of my financial health starting with my mortgage which had just hit its 10 year milestone and through recommendation made decision to work with Lorraine & Gosia at Jigsaw. From our first meeting I was impressed with the professionalism and expertise that shone through which I have no doubts enabled the process to run so smoothly all the way to the mortgage being drawn-down. Very approachable and always available to answer any questions, trouble shoot bumps in the road including those unexpected ones thrown into the mix by COVID was priceless. Having Lorraine and Gosia really provided peace of mind which is the ultimate recommendation I can personally give. Looking forward to continuing conversation with them around Tax (PAYE), Savings and Pension as extension to the relationship built during the mortgage switch.

Philip Burtenshaw

From the outset Lorraine and Gosia were extremely helpful with every query or question I had, of which there were many. The service they provided was the most professional and easy to deal with I encountered across the many parties that are involved in purchasing a property. They were attentive, professional, tenacious, diligent, and always approachable with any query large or small. I really could not speak highly enough of Lorraine, Gosia and the entire Jigsaw team.

Neil Cullen

We were referred to Lorraine by a family friend in the hope of securing a mortgage for our first home. Lorraine and her team went above and beyond in bringing us on this journey explaining all options available to us. The Covid pandemic brought us new challenges but Lorraine and Gosia were professional, accommodating and caring, ensuring there was no stopping us securing our home. A pleasure to deal with, we could not recommend the Jigsaw team highly enough.

Robert Nolan & Ruth McLoughlin 

Lorraine and her team guided us seamlessly trough our first mortgage application. She discussed and explained all the mortgage options and helped completed all the paperwork and get the best mortgage available. From day one we felt welcomed and comfortable to ask any questions. She not only looked for the best deal on the mortgage as well as provided with the best option for insurance covers. We cannot recommend Jigsaw Financial Solutions Ltd enough to anyone for their first class service.

Ranjeet Singh & Renata Tanai 

Lorraine and the team at Jigsaw were amazing. The process of buying a house has many pitfalls and we encountered numerous issues along the way, but thanks to Lorraine and her expert advice we had each one resolved and we ended up purchasing our forever home. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Danielle Townsend & Neil Fennelly

I came across Jigsaw by recommendation from another happy customer. Initially to help with the process of buying my first home, but soon engaged in several other services that Jigsaw offer. I find Lorraine and the team very knowledgeable and helpful in navigating financial situations that can be quite confusing. I’d have complete trust in Jigsaw, and no hesitation in recommending Lorraine and the team to anyone who wants to feel more secure in their finances.

Mary Collins

We used Jigsaw to buy our first home in November 2019. As first-time buyers we were not familiar with the process, Lorraine and Gosia went above and beyond to help us and left us very little work to do except sign papers. It made the process for us completely stress free as they did absolutely everything that was necessary and are still checking in with us to this day to see how things are going. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Audrey Habington & Ian Howlett

We are very pleased to write this testimonial in appreciation of what Jigsaw did for us during all the process of obtaining our mortgage.

Lorraine struck us as a professional who is very knowledgeable and  very resourceful. She was very helpful right from the time of our initial contact until getting the deal closed. She along with her financial administrator Gosia, were very warm and friendly, and combined with their professionalism made us very comfortable and less anxious on  this process that can get a bit stressful at times.

This was our first ever experience with trying to obtain a mortgage and we got the approval from the bank without any difficulty or obstacles. Jigsaw was always there during the whole process guiding us to the next step to take and available for any questions.

As foreigners and first time home buyers, not familiar with the process in Ireland, we were very happy to see how great it was to  have  Lorraine as our broker and have already spread the good word on Jigsaw and will continue to recommend their services to everyone. We have a deep sense of gratitude and are sure our relationship will continue in the future whenever we need their services in the longer term.

Jigsaw Financial Solutions is a one-stop shop for anyone shopping for a mortgage!

Jessica & Heitor Cunha

I have no hesitation in recommending Jigsaw Financial following the fast and efficient manner in which they handled what could have been a very troublesome mortgage application.  Coupled with their friendly manner they were a joy to deal with.

Eamonn Doherty

From start to finish, Lorraine & the team were outstanding. Customer service is clearly central to the team at Jigsaw. Their personable and professional approach, timely response to any queries we had and ongoing support throughout the mortgage process demonstrated their client centered approach. Buying a home is known to be a stressful experience. We knew we were in safe hands with Lorraine and trusted her completely, which allowed us to focus our time on the other aspects of the process.

We would not hesitate to recommend Jigsaw, and have in fact already recommended them to family members who have found them equally as impressive.

Amy & Shane O’Farrelly

Thanks to the wonderful support and guidance of Lorraine & Gosia, my partner & I have fulfilled our dream of having a home to call our own! The journey had a few twists and turns but Lorraine & Gosia helped us throughout & made the process very manageable and way less daunting.

I’d highly recommend Jigsaw Finance, Lorraine is extremely highly qualified across a huge range of areas and she has built an equally strong team of professional women around her.

Deirdre Smith & Edwin Aanstoot

We have been thinking of buying a house for a while but have been discouraged by huge amount of information which Lorraine and Gosia made so easy and understandable. They have been absolutely amazing in this journey. They had the ball in the court at all times, kept us updated and provided best possible advice we could hope for.

I would definitely recommend them to our friends and family.

Slobodan Ruznic Sucevic & Harold Adriaansen

My partner and I were first time buyers and had started our journey of seeking a mortgage before meeting Lorraine. At every junction, we were met with a brick wall. After being rejected numerous times, a mutual connection told us to get in contact with Jigsaw Financial Solutions.Within weeks, we were mortgage approved for the first time and this is 100% down to Lorraine and her team. Lorraine held our hand every step of the journey, explained the process to a tee and helped us secure our dream home. You are not a number or a client to Jigsaw Solutions – they only have your best interested at heart!

Without Jigsaw Financial Solutions, we would not have our beautiful new home. My partner and I will be ever forever grateful to Lorraine and her team who turned our dream into a reality.

Adam Kirwan & Niamh Sludds

Thank you so much for all your assistance in helping us secure the mortgage and everything that goes with it that we would not have known was needed! You were amazing to work with and really helped make it a seamless process for us. Your responsiveness to our queries and professionalism were truly appreciated. We look forward to working with you on future matters.

Ciara & Richard Hayes

“The team at Jigsaw were outstanding in the mortgage application process and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Lorraine and Gosia took care of us from the very beginning right trough to close of sale. The team researched all possible options for us and we purchased our property knowing we got the best possible rate. We would have no hesitation recommending Jigsaw Finance and plan to use them for all of our future finance needs.”

Siobhan & Aonghus Davoren

“Lorraine was recommended to us by a family member. I already knew how much support she had given them so it made us feel confident in her.

As first time buyers we didn’t know what to expect. We were anxious about the process. We couldn’t have been in safer hands with Lorraine and her team. Lorraine put our minds at ease about every query we had. Lorraine is so approachable and no question was too little. Lorraine was so helpful when there were delays in other areas of the process in speeding things up and knows the right people to be communicating to in these situations.

Lorraine is amazing at her job and I trust her completely that she won’t steer you wrong. We will never be able to thank her enough for her help and guidance she has given us in getting our first home and I will continue to recommend her to all my friends who are starting their journeys.

I mean every word!”

Lorraine was recommended to us by a friend and so we took a leap of faith with her when applying for a mortgage.
From our first meeting with Lorraine we knew we had made the right decision in choosing her.
Lorraine walked us through all options available to us and explained things to us in a clear manner.
She was extremely prompt in sending us forms for completion and replying to our many many emails, going above and beyond by even replying to emails on her holidays.
Though there were setbacks along the way, Lorraine’s determination to get the right mortgage approval for us never faltered and it was evident she had our best interests at heart.
We have since recommended Lorraine to numerous people and will continue to use her services for other financial needs.
We’ll forever be grateful to Lorraine for securing the mortgage for our forever home and wish her all the success for the future

“As first time buyers entering the property ladder, and first time mortgage applicants, we were nervous about the process and all it entailed. Having Lorraine as our mortgage broker was the best investment we made as she put our minds at ease about every query we had. Everything was made easy to understand and the hard work was completely taken out of it for us by Lorraine who done an amazing job from start to finish! We can’t thank her enough for her help and guidance in buying our first home and can not recommend her highly enough to anyone.”

Lorraine was a joy to deal with and delivered excellent results for me in getting a mortgage to buy my first house on my own. She removed all my worries by keeping me in touch, signaling potential issues well in advance and being an expert in her field. I have recommended her to a number of my friends and will continue to do so.

‘Lorraine has been my accountant for a number of years and has done an excellent job of preparing my business accounts. As Lorraine is also a mortgage broker, my husband and I spoke to her when we wanted to apply for a mortgage. Lorraine was quickly able to prepare the paperwork for us, inform us of exactly what else was required and to then go and follow up with the banks. She presented us with a range of what was available to us and was able to recommend various options based on our circumstances. She made the whole process very easy for us and was able to make dealing with the mortgage providers far more straightforward than when we had been doing it directly. We highly recommend Lorraine. She is extremely well informed on the various financial options and professional but also very honest and easy to talk to. She was instrumental in us buying our first home. We have already given her details to a number of friends who are starting the house buying process and we would strongly recommend her to everybody’. Adela & Mark

We cannot recommend Lorraine Cooke highly enough. As a young couple we were very unsure of the process and requirements to applying for a mortgage and buying our first home. Lorraine was extremely personable, professional and easy to work with. She explained things comprehensively and answered all our questions patiently. Lorraine guided us effortlessly through the whole process from beginning to end and kept things moving at an efficient pace. We are very grateful for her expertise and all of her help as we settle into our new home.

I would highly recommend Lorraine Cooke as a financial advisor for your business or personal needs. My experience with Jigsaw Financial Solutions over the past year has been completely positive. I was surprised again and again at the depth of knowledge shown by Lorraine. The advice I have received for a broad range of products has always been thorough, suited my needs and has been flawless.

As a qualified accountant I can appreciate the vast amount of knowledge Lorraine has shown, and appreciate the fact that she is consistently up to the minute on any updates/changes in legislation/taxation/financial products. Lorraine is a top class advisor and an absolute legend. Her fee was so reasonable – the best money I have ever spent.

Thanks so much for everything, I look forward to working with you in the future.

We are a working couple and reluctant landlords who simply don’t have the time nor the knowledge to manage our tax matters effectively. Thankfully we don’t need to worry about this anymore. Lorraine’s tax & financial advice has been critical to us in recent years. Lorraine takes full ownership, and her service delivery is outstanding. She is proactive, discreet and very competent. We would happily recommend Lorraine and Jigsaw Financial Solutions to anyone in need of sound advice!

I would highly recommend engaging the services of Lorraine for all personal finance needs. As well as researching the best deals she also gives a fantastic personal service and is always clear and informative in explaining these matters to a lay person. I am delighted to continue to work with her for my personal finance requirements.

Lorraine gave us very sound advice on a number of issues when we were buying our house. I found her very open and honest and focused on the customer. She demonstrated her expertise in the area, while maintaining an objective view in helping us reach decisions. I have gone back to her for further advice and will do so again, with no hesitation.

Lorraine is a consummate professional with the highest levels of integrity and professionalism. I have had many calls and email conversations with Lorraine over the years and I must say that the responsiveness of Lorraine has gone beyond a normal service level that I would have expected from her industry.

The information provided by Lorraine is accurate, to the point and unambiguous. She deals with sensitive subject matter in a purely business fashion with no emotive connotations and responses, information is dealt with on a purely factual basis and in the best interest of the customer.

And overall Lorraine is a pleasure to deal with

Lorraine was recommended to me by a family member when I was re-financing a mortgage. I found her very knowledgeable about the process involved and handled all matters with integrity and ease. I would have no hesitation in engaging her services again and recommending Lorraine to others that may need financial advice

I have had the pleasure in dealing with Lorraine a number of times when purchasing property and organizing various insurance. I have always found her to be very helpful in areas I didn’t have much knowledge of, she was always able to communicate in a language I could understand. She is efficient, reliable and I would trust her with anything I asked her to help me with.

If she could have predicted the property crash it would have been helpful but it wasn’t what we hired her for!

Lorraine is a rare breed.

Lorraine helped us through the whole mortgage process from start to finish, including life assurance for me and my wife plus general insurance and all other associated items.  Great work and great to work with.

Lorraine has been my financial advisor for the last 3 years and I have found her to be very professional in every aspect of her work leading to positive results time and again on time and on budget. Lorraine is very personable to work with giving me the peace of mind that my best interests are being taken care of at all times.

Lorraine is an extremely capable professional, and it is a pleasure to work with her.
She knows her business inside out, and was able to provide much more cost effective solutions for me. She is immensely responsive, and it feels like Lorraine is just there for you

I have known and worked with Lorraine for over 6 years. Lorraine is a expert in all financial matters and is so easy to work with. Her vast knowledge base and proactive approach make things so much easier. I couldn’t recommend Lorraine highly enough!

I couldn’t be more impressed with Lorraine’s professionalism and proficiency, so much that I have recommended her to friends, colleagues and family. Lorraine is trustworthy, efficient and most importantly, always customer focussed.

On numerous occasions Lorraine has provided me with unbiased, qualitative and informed financial guidance. This advice has proved crucial in the decisions I have made regarding my personal finances.

I used Lorraine a number of times when purchasing my house, extending my mortgage etc.  I always found her to be exceptionally talented at her job, very professional and personable, a great pleasure to work with.  I’m happy to highly recommend her in any capacity.

Last year when buying a house we engaged Lorraine to provide financial advice, secure a competitive mortgage (in a difficult market) and obtain the various insurances and assurance related to house buying (life cover, property cover, etc).  I found Lorraine to be extremely knowledgeable and efficient and always met her commitments and never let us down. She has a great network within the industry and can get things done quickly.  But most important to me, she’s trustworthy and honest and a pleasure to deal with. When the need arises, I’ll certainly call on her expertise again

Lorraine was recommended to me by several people and what an excellent recommendation she was. Lorraine made getting my first mortgage easy but also affordable by providing me with superb advice and support. I would love to deal with Lorraine again should the need arise

After several failed attempts on our own, Lorraine got us a very competitive mortgage. She was utterly professional, very personable and couldn’t have been more helpful, from the first steps of the application right through to researching and advising on all our options for our mortgage, life assurance and health insurance. I would highly recommend Lorraine.

I am very happy to recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for financial and tax advice in Ireland. She is someone who understands the Irish revenue regulations and who is extremely diligent, dependable and responsive. Asking her to help me with my taxes is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Lorraine has been a great source of financial advice and assistance since she first helped me 4 years ago. She is very friendly and open and is clearly an expert in all things financial. I would have no hesitation in recommending her, or in seeking her services for my own financial advice in the future.

Lorraine helped us get mortgage approval and helped us buy our house with all of the associated paperwork involved with absolute ease.  We bought and moved into our house in 3 weeks thanks to her.  She has been our financial adviser since 2005 and has helped us make very wise and safe financial decisions along the way.  We have recommended her to family and friends all of whom have great praise for her work.

I have found Lorraine, as an advisor, to be trustworthy, competent, responsive and capable of delivering good quality output in the manner promised.

Over the past number of years, Lorraine has been an excellent financial advisor to my husband and I. She is highly personable both face to face and over the phone. She is very thorough and efficient and her advice is  always honest and objective. She has detailed knowledge of the financial services and we would have no hesitation in recommending her expertise in life and pensions services, mortgage services and health insurance services.

This is my second time to use the expertise of Jigsaw Financial Solutions.  I have found Lorraine to be efficient and professional in handling my affairs.

Take the puzzle out of dealing with the Office of the Revenue Commisioners, use Jigsaw Financial Solutions!

I had submitted my family tax returns to the revenue office over the years but I didn’t really understand the taxation system or what my entitlements were.  Like most people I would fill out a Med 1 Form and hope for the best.  When I went to Lorraine she sorted out my financial affairs with the minimal of fuss and hassle.  To my delight, I got a significant tax return.  I would never have received this without her assistance.  I found Lorraine to be efficient, excellent at following up on any issues and I was thrilled with the prompt positive outcome for my family.  I would strongly recommend her if you are confused about your entitlements and need someone to sort out your tax affairs.

Thank you Lorraine for preparing my Income Tax and Vat for 2011; I appreciate the way you completed them on schedule and with great attention to detail, more important, for returning my calls and for answering all my queries with confidentiality and professionalism.  Also, for adhering to my deadline, you made it all seem so simple and effortless, and, of course, stress free for me. As you know, I hate dealing with revenue because I don’t understand the tax jargon.

I recommended you to two of my friends and I will definitely be availing of your services next year, not only for taxes but for insurance also.  Good luck with your business.
