EXCELLENT Based on 42 reviews Posted on Anna Hui Yap We used Richmond Futures for our survey and they were amazing. They (Brett/Mateo) are the only company who came back with personalised recommendations instead of standard template email, and took the time to explain to me why they thought so. They were fast and efficient- Mateo took time to call me before I get the fully written report and check if I have any questions. I am very very pleased with their service. Highly recommended.Posted on Tom Greenhalgh We had a fantastic experience with Mateo on our property purchase. The survey was provided promptly, easy to read and extremely helpful. Mateo also went the extra mile and was very available to discuss his findings and next steps. We would recommend using Mateo and Richmond Futures Surveyors.Posted on Tim Dewey Richmond Futures Surveyors did a great job in providing the survey report for our potential purchase. Mateo helped us answer many questions and performed a detailed review of the survey for us.Posted on Emma Rose I used Mateo for a Level 2 Homebuyer Survey and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was incredibly thorough and took the time to answer all my questions in detail, explaining everything clearly and professionally. His report was comprehensive and easy to understand, which gave me real confidence in moving forward with the purchase. What really stood out was how approachable and responsive he was, he went above and beyond to clarify technical points and even helped me anticipate potential extra costs. It made the whole process far less stressful. Excellent service from start to finish.Posted on Avnesh Pandya We worked with Mateo on a property we were seeking to purchase, we wanted a Homebuyer Level 2 Survey and the service was excellent from the outset. We appreciated the clear and frequent communication throughout. Once the survey was carried out we had a short call to discuss his initial impressions, followed by the detailed report a few days later, then another debrief call to answer any questions we had. We have already recommended him to a friend and would suggest others choose Richmond Futures for their survey needs in the area. Thoroughly impressive.Posted on Emma Guy Mateo carried out a very thorough and detailed survey for us which came with a clear report. Mateo took the time to go over the report with us and was incredibly helpful with any questions we had. Would highly recommend Richmond Futures Surveyors!Posted on Satpal Gahi Very professional and swift approach. I would definitely recommend.Posted on Rohith Bhaskaran I found RichmondFutures through a friend's recommendation and I'm really glad I did. I interacted with our Building Surveyor, Mateo, who was incredibly informative and professional. The report was very detailed, and he took the time to explain everything clearly, making it easy to understand. Highly recommended!Posted on Andy Stewart Our experience of RF Surveyors was excellent. The surveyor Mateo was at all stages helpful, informative and realistic. It was a belt and braces survey including a drone etc. What was especially useful was the post survey debrief/discussion. A Q&A where we were able to discuss in detail any items that caught our attention (there were a few) from their report. This also enabled RFS to point out and help us anticipate possible future costs going forward. This is a first class professional firm which 'does what it says on the tin'. Highly recommended.Posted on Pesky Fantastic! Brett guided us through a recent transaction, offering us clear explanations and an objective view. He spotted things we did not see and encouraged us to get additional surveys which identified problems the owner fixed (at their cost). Frustratingly the seller then pulled out on the day of exchange. Grrrrrrr. Once we found a new property, going with Richmond Futures was a no brainer, and this time Mateo helped us. Mateo was equally eagle-eyed, and super responsive - guiding us through the process to get a price reduction to cover remedial work. He calmly talked me through a last minute panic too and went above and beyond our contract. Wouldn’t hesitate to deal with them again, and have recommended to friends. Thank you, sincerely, Brett and Mateo.
