Cunningtons LLP

Absolutely shocking! Can honestly say worst experience ever. It made moving house (what is already a stressful experience) a million times worse ! and more stressful! The whole team left, could never reach anyone by phone or email, no one ever called back or responded to my queries, ever! I even had to change solicitors on the back of the appalling level of service for the purchase of my new house. Currently going through complaint procedure with Ombudsman to address the poor level of service. Beware! and avoid at all costs when moving house. Writing this now as had to wait for my complaints procedure to be completed.

Palaniappan Ahilan

Cunningtons are truly the worst company I have ever dealt with. Palaniappan Ahilan at the Hornchurch branch was very unprofessional and I hold him responsible for the property purchase (chain-free) having fallen through. There were errors in the basic information on legal documents – both my name and the purchase price were incorrect! Phone calls were left unanswered, emails were not responded to and the service throughout was substandard. Due to their delays, failure to meet deadlines and unprofessionalism, the purchase of the property fell through. We were due to exchange imminently, however delayed responses from Ahilan resulted in the seller pulling out of the transaction the day after we were supposed to have exchanged. I hold Cunningtons (in particular Palaniappan Ahilan) entirely responsible for the collapse of the property purchase and truly believe that if we had chosen a different solicitor, we would not have had this issue. I raised a formal complaint with Cunningtons and even their complaints team could not stick to their own response deadlines, providing far-fetched excuses for their lateness. I very rarely write negative reviews, but I feel so strongly about this situation that I feel the need to urge anybody to think twice before instructing this firm!

Gemma Hopkins is a solicitor who we found to be available to help or answer any questions and to be thorough from start to finish. I would highly recommend Gemma 👌

It was a great experience working with Tamil. As first time buyers, we were very nervous and didn’t know the exact process but Tamil walked us through and helped us at each and every step. She was very approachable and friendly which made it easier for us to discuss our doubts/concerns. The process moved quickly without any hiccups and I was kept well informed about the progress. Would strongly recommend her services. Thank you

Smooth transaction for the sale of my property. Special thanks to Tamil, for being so efficient, proactive and approachable. Tamil kept me up to date regularly and was available for direct contact which was helpful to avoid stress. Would use again, and highly recommended. Great communications from both Tamil and Jodie (Tamil's secretary). Friendly and a pleasure to deal with. My buyers solicitors were delaying things, but Tamil worked hard and chased things up to ensure we complete the sale on the proposed date. Thank you Tamil, best wishes.

This is our 6th transaction with Cunningtons. Highly recommended. Special thanks to Michelle who has always been very responsive, proactive, and kept the process going with constant communication with buyers solicitors and estate agents. Thanks to Ahilan Palaniappan as well. I shall happily use their service again.

We have had the pleasure of being delt with by Jason. He has answered every question we have had and gone above and beyond for our quite unique house buying process. I would highly recommend Jason and Cunningtons

We instructed Cunningtons to do the conveyancing for pur purchase of the New build house. From start to finish Sarah and team kept us up-to-date with everything and dealt with any issues. Very professional and all the team were helpful and polite.

Could not rate cunningtons enough. Have used multiple times and they have always been proffesional, helpful and prompt. The app is a genius idea as keeps you up to date and aware of what stage your at.
