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.
I have just had my property transfer finalised through Racheal and found her services to be efficient and very professional. Everything was easy, straight forward, quick and with no surprises. Would highly recommend.
We recently used Open Home Conveyancing to buy our first home. There were issues with both the contract and settlement but Racheal and Lauren helped the whole way, picked up on everything and answered all my questions. They even made me laugh after our bank made settlement very stressful. I am really grateful for all they did and highly recommend them.
I recently sold an apartment in Sydney while living in Melbourne and used Open House Conveyancing to assist with the legal side of selling my property. The experience was amazing right from the start. The fees were very competitive and transparent and there were no unexpected charges. The services were very professional, communication was exceptional and everything went very smoothly. Rachael and Dennis were an absolute pleasure to deal with. This was my first time selling a property and they explained the process to me really well whilst keeping me updated at all times. I can highly recommend Open House Conveyancing even if you are located interstate or outside of the Wollongong area. Amazing experience.
As a first-home buyer, working with Lauren from Open House Conveyancing made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly prompt with every update and her communication throughout was great. Lauren’s professionalism and supportive approach gave me confidence at every step, and I genuinely felt well-looked after throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Lauren and the team at Open House Conveyancing to anyone buying a property. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future.
Made everything straight forward. Kept us informed during the buying process. Highly recommended. Will use again.
