Racheal & Dennis were very professional and helpful with sorting out my home purchase. This team will definitely look after you and ensure the whole process goes smoothly. Even post-settlement, they were amazing at answering my concerns and sorting issues out. Will be more than happy to return and use their services in the future and would strongly recommend. Thank you both!
Communication has been excellent from open house conveyancing. We did a title transfer in the ACT and couldn’t be happier with their service. I would highly recommend this company for your next sell or purchase.
We recently used OH Conveyancing for both the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home, and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Racheal and Dennis stepped in to help us at very short notice and made the process feel straightforward and manageable. They were always quick to respond to our questions, kept us informed along the way, and were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Both settlements went through smoothly, and we really appreciated their support, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout. We would happily recommend Racheal, Dennis, and the team at OH Conveyancing to anyone needing conveyancing services.
We recently sold our Sydney property while travelling overseas and used Dennis from Open House Conveyancing as our solicitor. Initially, we were concerned about meeting Dennis in person as it was an online conveyancing service, in case any complex issues arose. However, the service was incredibly professional and everything went smoothly. It was our first remote property sale, and Dennis explained the contract, process, and costs thoroughly. I truly appreciate his service and will definitely recommend Open House Conveyancing to friends.
Open House Conveyancing made buying an apartment for my father feel so much less overwhelming. Their knowledge around strata was incredible — they picked up details we never would have thought to look into ourselves and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. From contracts to settlement, they were supportive, responsive and genuinely trustworthy the entire way through. Having a team that knowledgeable about the whole home buying process gave us so much confidence. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

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.
