Cunningtons Reviews 717

My partner and I are very happy with the service that Rachel Holohan and her team have provided for us. They’ve been incredibly supportive, patient and helpful in our journey through the selling and purchasing process. We highly recommend Cunningtons LLP and know we’ll definitely use them again in the future. Thank you so much for everything!

Great company to deal with, Kate and her whole conveyancing team are brilliant. Every one of them is helpful and friendly. Would have no hesitation in recommending them and also using them again. 5 stars is not enough. Have also used Racheal for a will, another brilliantly helpful and friendly person…

I recently had Sarah as my conveyancer for my first home purchase, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support throughout the process.

From start to finish, Sarah was absolutely brilliant. She communicated clearly and consistently, always keeping me updated and explaining things in a way that was easy to understand, especially important as a first-time buyer. No question ever felt like too much trouble, and she was always quick to respond and reassure me when things felt overwhelming.

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I always felt confident that everything was in safe hands.

I would highly recommend Sarah and her team at Cunningtons to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive conveyancer. Thank you again for making my first home purchase such a positive experience!

Stella Parker was very helpful and accomodating with the short turnaround required for my legal document.
Polite courteous and professional and comms from the Stella and team were very efficient and clear. Many thanks

Kate hunt and her team at Cunningtons were exceptional!! Highly recommend to all that are looking to move in the Wickford area. Communication was brilliant and efficient, no fault or errors and we could trust that work was being done to the highest standard. Thank you again for a smooth first buying experience. Rachael F

We started our purchase process with Cunningtons in May 2025 and the experience has been extremely frustrating.

Our seller was very cooperative and had agreed to wait until 31 January 2026 to allow us time to resolve earlier lender issues. By November 2025 we had secured the correct lender and were ready to proceed. We also arranged the required £5,000 UK deposit in good time.

However, this final deposit check was treated as a routine process with no urgency, despite the strict deadline we were working towards. The verification was handled very slowly and updates were only provided once a week (typically on Fridays), which gave the impression that there was no real progress being made.

Because of this lack of prioritisation and delay at such a critical stage, the seller lost confidence, accepted a parallel better offer, and withdrew from our sale.

After waiting from May 2025 to February 2026, losing the property due to avoidable delays at the final step was extremely upsetting. This process cost us time, money, and a lot of patience.

Based on our experience, I would strongly advise others to think carefully before choosing this firm, especially if your transaction is time-sensitive.

We had a very positive experience with Cunningtons Braintree as our selling solicitors for our house.
Charlotte Alllington conducted the sale in an efficient and professional manner. We recommend this company with confidence, and would certainly use them again.

I would just like to say that that having used Cunningtons Solicitors previously for a house sale and purchase which went absolutely superbly I would use them again for my next adventure and yes they didn’t let me down !
Everything was handled so thoroughly with precision and attention to fine details I can only but congratulate them once again.
A big thank you to Kate and her great team!
Different class well done.

After loosing my civil partner suddenly in May 2025 I turned to my solicitors, Cunningtons, for help. More specifically Bryony Wilmshurst, Partner in the Private Client department.

So caring, compassionate and utterly professional. To have Bryony in such harrowing times was such a comfort.

Communication was fantastic, I was always kept up to date, any questions I asked were responded to immediately - concisely and clearly. Everything was dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Bryony's secretary at the time, Mia, called me to give me general updates - giving that personal touch you sometimes cannot get with emails - thank you Mia.

I couldn't have wished for anything better in such awful circumstances.

THANK YOU.

My house sale and purchase were handled by the Croydon branch.

Despite withdrawal from my first purchasers late in the transaction the issue was handled professional and with little fuss.

My second buyer/transaction also had a number of delays but again the Croydon office kept the pressure on for completion.

Overall a good experience and would recommend Cunningtons.

Charlotte Allington, one of the solicitors at Cunningtons supported a friend of mine who suffers from dyslexia, in selling his property. They navigated his needs and as his support person I was very impressed with the accommodating service we received. They were helpful.

I would like to thank Sarah and the team for selling the property for me.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wanting to buy or sell a property could not have been happier with the service I received.
Thank you

I recently completed a house move with the support of Gemma Hopkins at Cunningtons, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. Gemma was consistently professional, proactive, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process. She communicated clearly at every stage, explained complex details in a way that made everything easy to understand, and always responded promptly to any questions I had.
What really stood out was her calm, organised approach — even when things became time‑sensitive, Gemma handled everything with confidence and efficiency.
I’m genuinely grateful for her hard work and dedication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gemma Hopkins and Cunningtons to anyone looking for a reliable and highly competent solicitor for their property transaction.

We recently moved property and had all the normal worries you would have about choosing which Solicitor should help.

Choosing Cunningtons was the best thing we did, the service was brilliant from the start even when there was a hiccup in the process (nothing to do with Cunningtons) the team were fantastic guiding us through the process and sorting issues as they went.

Would 100% recommend.

We’ve worked with Cunningtons several times before, and have always had an excellent experience working with Sarah, Fiona and the team at Cunningtons in Braintree. Any queries we had were answered promptly, and we always felt well-informed at every stage. They were great. Thank you!

We used Cunnington's Solicitors to sell our Mum’s property, Sarah King, and her team, kept us informed every step of the way of the sale. Any queries we had, were quickly dealt with. Always got back promptly. The sale went through very smoothly. Would definitely recommend Cunnington’s.

Great service, would highly recommend.

I recently used Cunningtons Solicitors for the sale of my house and the whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. A special shoutout to Kate Horsted, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process.

She was responsive, clear, and completely on top of everything, nothing was ever too much trouble. Selling a property can be stressful, but Kate made it feel smooth and straightforward. I genuinely felt like I was in safe hands the whole way.

Would 100% recommend Cunningtons Solicitors (and Kate in particular!) to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and professional service.

We used Cunningtons for sale and purchase and found their service excellent. The whole team were efficient, professional and did exactly what they said they would do. Out of the whole chain, we definitely had the best solicitors.

Attentive and accurate.

My experience although ultimately got me to a satisfactory conclusion was beset with issues relating, in my view, to a Company purchase of my house and not an individual. As such, their timetable for complete was driven by want not need and ultimately added to my costs (utility and additional property taxes) associated with a long drawn out process.

As my appointed lawyer I feel that I should have been warned about the risk of this. If I had my time again I would have gone with a private (individual) buyer.

Also, and this seems custom and practise these days, the acknowledgement email to my emails, which was not a reply, clogged up my inbox making reading and responding cubmbersome.

Otherwise excellent.
