Your Local Solicitors on Hornchurch High Street

Cunningtons solicitors have been serving Hornchurch since 2022, when we moved from Ilford to our current office at 135 High Street (click here for directions). We offer face-to-face help with residential conveyancing and Wills and probate for clients across Hornchurch, Ilford, Romford, Upminster and the wider London Borough of Havering. Our original Ilford team, including Nneoma Egemonye, Salma Hussain and Rachael Fleet, moved with us, with oversight from Conveyancing Partner Kate Hunt, who also looks after our Wickford branch. We are regulated by the SRA and accredited under the Conveyancing Quality Scheme, and as part of a firm established in 1748, we can also call on specialist colleagues across the network for Family Law, Civil Litigation and Employment Law.

Get in touch with us for expert guidance, whether you are buying your first home, bidding for a house at auction, or planning your estate.

  • 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.

    Sree L, Hornchurch

  • We are very happy with the service provided by Palaniappan Ahilan and Cunnington’s team for our recent purchase of a lease hold property. Very knowledgeable, proactive, very professional and very prompt response throughout the conveyancing process.

    Highly recommended!

    P Gurusamy, Hornchurch

  • I could not recommend Ahilan enough. As first time buyers it is extremely scary… he was on the other end of the phone the whole process. He pushed it through so fast. Thank you for everything!

    Libby R, Hornchurch

  • Mr Ahilan and his staff provided exceptional service . I had a strict deadline for my remortgage and Mr Ahilan delivered. Thank you

    Rafik L, Hornchurch

    Tamil was very helpful throughout the process, very professional and responsive to all my queries and this has helped to complete the transaction on time. Overall great experience and highly recommended.

    Alaa N, Hornchurch

  • Huge thanks to our solicitor Tamil Letchmanan for being so efficient, professional, and determined to help us meet the stamp duty deadline for our home purchase. We really appreciated the clear communication and fast turnaround—couldn’t have done it without you!
