I had a great experience working with Racheal and Dennis during the purchase of my property. My loan process was not straightforward and we faced some difficulties along the way, but they were extremely supportive and guided me through each step. They were proactive and made sure to request the cooling-off period extension at the right time, which really helped protect my position while the finance was being finalised. Their communication, professionalism, and attention to detail made a stressful situation much easier to manage. Rachel and Dennis also helped my brother recently with his property purchase, and he had the same positive experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable legal support when buying property.
Using open house conveyancing has made the process of selling my house very simple and straight forward. Very knowledgeable and great communication from them.
Really good comms and really pleasant to deal with. Service was overall amazing. Highly recommended!
It has been said that the mark of truly professional service is the identification of problems, the removal of uncertainty and the demonstratiin of professionalism. By each of these criteria I cannot commend Racheal and her team too highly. From the first free phone consultation with Racheal through to settlement the whole process proceeded seemlessly and any potential issues were quickly resolved and my occasional misguided concerns were invariably resolved promptly, with clarity and the patience and tact worthy of a diplomat. I note Open House Conveyancing provide legal services beyond conveyancing and they would without hesitation be my go-to choice of service provider if the occasion arose.
Dennis has recently helped on our sale of an apartment in Wollongong. I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Dennis has been very professional and helpful. The sale was a bit complex due to a periodic tenancy, but everything went well with Dennis. The contract prepared by him was really good and addressed potential risks and precluded potential disputes. And the communication was fantastic. And great price too. Thanks again Dennis.
Open House Conveyancing were amazing during my first property purchase. Even with a difficult seller, they were always helpful, supportive and patient. They were very generous with their time and explained every step of the process in detail. Having Open House Conveyancing made the whole process much easier - I honestly couldn’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.
