Dennis at Open House Conveyancing is the best! I have dealt with many solicitors and conveyancers in the past but Dennis is by far the most reliable and helpful, always on top of things. Thank you so much for your guidance, Dennis! You made what could have been a very stressful experience a smooth one.
Racheal and Dennis are truly great at what they do. They are grounded and calm throughout the whole process and I wouldn’t use anyone else for my conveyancing.
We have had excellent experiences working with Open House Conveyancing. They have always been highly professional and knowledgable which has made the process smooth for us. They regularly kept us updated and explained things in an understanding way. Thanks again for all your help!
Dennis was so easy to deal with when selling our home. Communication was clear and accurate, and online signing makes things so simple to navigate. Sale was completed with no issues. Would be happy to use Dennis’ service again in future. Thank you.
Open House was fantastic to work with. We had a land purchase with complex restrictions on the land use. Open house was able to guide us on these complexities and they were very thorough with their work. I can’t recommend them enough!!

Ashfield is an old town, with a long history. Before the arrival of the British, the area now known as Ashfield was inhabited by the Wangal people.
After the arrival of the first fleet in 1788, the city became urbanised and grew in popularity, due to its proximity to Parramatta and Sydney CBD. The first land grant in the area was made to Rev Richard Johnson in 1793 and all land had been granted by 1810.
By 1855, Ashfield had about 70 houses and 200 residents. However, the opening of the Sydney-Parramatta railway line that year, with Ashfield as one of its six original stations, led to a population boom. By 1890, more than 11,000 people lived in the suburb. By 2018, the population had exploded to 127,000 people, with most living in units.
The Ashfield and District Historical Society celebrates the history and heritage of Ashfield.
