A big thank you to Mateo for his home buyer survey. Extremely Knowledgeable and professional!

Demi M

Mateo has just supported us with a Party Wall Award and he was clear, helpful and great with communication throughout the whole thing. Everything was sorted quickly and pricing was very reasonable!

Dan Wright

Mateo assisted me in purchasing a property despite failed attempts with other estate agents and surveyors. Richmond Futures were the only people we found who were able to hear our concerns and help us through the transition accordingly.

Mateo was absolutely brilliant. Very thorough and detailed whilst also offered a call to put everything into perspective and translate some of the lingo into clear action points we could understand!

★★★★★ Exceptional service from start to finish! I am absolutely thrilled with the Level 2 Home Survey report we received. What stood out the most was the surveyor’s incredible helpfulness before we had even formally instructed them. They took the time to guide me through the process, answer my initial questions, and give expert advice when I was just looking for information. The report itself was thorough, clear, easy to understand, and delivered exactly when promised. It has given us total peace of mind for our purchase.

Mateo at Richmond Futures was exceptional. Unlike many surveyors who hide behind technical jargon, he took the time to explain every issue in clear, practical language—what genuinely mattered, what was simply routine maintenance, and the most sensible remediation options. His report was incredibly thorough and forward-looking, highlighting not only current observations but also areas to monitor over the coming years so there were no surprises later. I was particularly impressed by his use of modern technology, including drone inspections, which enabled a far more comprehensive assessment than a traditional survey. If you're looking for a surveyor who combines deep technical expertise with excellent communication and a genuinely client-focused approach, I would recommend Mateo without hesitation.
