As RICS approved surveyors, we understand the importance of investing wisely. We offer accessible and comprehensive building surveys to help you make informed decisions prior to your purchase. With a short turnaround time of 5 working days from inspection, our reports provide detailed analyses of the property’s current condition as well as potential risks ahead. If you have any questions or concerns regarding what type survey is right for you, reach out today so that we can get started on giving peace-of-mind protection against unfortunate surprises down the line.
A Level 2 Homebuyers Report provides valuable insight on properties of standard construction and in seemingly good condition. During the assessment, our team will take a non-intrusive visual inspection at accessible vantage points to gather necessary information – without trespassing onto others’ private property. We also aim to gain further knowledge about the property by having discussions with its existing owners whenever possible. At completion, an informative report is provided that outlines any visible defects we detect as well as advice on how best to proceed. To ensure your property investment is in the best shape possible, we offer comprehensive evaluations that may require further information from your legal adviser. That way, you can have confidence while making a decision and be sure of gaining maximum value when purchasing!
A Level 3 Building Survey can provide invaluable insight into the current state and future maintenance of a property, allowing potential homeowners to make educated decisions prior to purchase. This survey will cover any existing or likely-to-develop defects along with an assessment of their cause, suitable repairs and implications should those be neglected. The results are presented in a comprehensive report complete with photographs for further reference during ownership if needed.
With a Level 3 Building Survey, customers are provided with the most comprehensive evaluation of their potential property. This includes an optional cost estimate offering guidance on necessary repairs or renovations; however it is important to note that construction costs in today’s market can be highly unpredictable and so this type of estimated pricing should not be considered definitive.
Richmond Futures are licensed drone surveyors. Where it’s a appropriate, we have the skills and equipment to utilise drone footage. Drones allow us to inspect higher up areas of your property where we can check the condition of your roof, gutters, chimneys and windows.
The greatest advantage of using drone footage, is the cost effectiveness. To survey high places, typically you would need to hire scaffolding and deal with the organisation & logistics that comes with it.
Drones allow us to view out of reach areas quickly and effectively without interupting you, your neighbours or the local council.
This is an another element that makes our building surveys unique and more thorough than our competitors.
EXCELLENT Based on 73 reviews Posted on Google Avinash Rao 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.Posted on Google Chiara Very happy with the professional and efficient service. Mateo provided a thorough knowledgable report and helpful follow up call, answering all my questions clearly in detail, and kindly offered to answer any further questions in the coming weeks. Highly recommended and will use again in future. Many thanks for the great jobPosted on Google Fiona Orde This is the BEST property surveyor service.

I would wholeheartedly recommend them.Posted on Google Sandy Thomson A detailed and thorough pre sale survey was carried out for us by a knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful professional who was prompt and dependable. Thank you MateoPosted on Google Dmitrii Panshin We were recommended Mateo by our mortgage broker, and the experience couldn't have been better. As first-time buyers, we had no shortage of questions and Mateo was always approachable, patient, and brilliant at explaining things in a way that actually made sense. One week the chain had formed; the very next week, Mateo was already at the property. After the survey, he rang us to walk through his findings - and it was clear from the detail and confidence he brought to that conversation that he really knows his stuff. He answered everything we threw at him, and then followed up just as thoroughly once we'd had a chance to read through the report. Buying your first home can feel like quite a lot to take on, but Mateo made the whole process far less daunting. Anyone lucky enough to work with Mateo is in very safe hands.Posted on Google Mia Hines Pham We are very happy with the level of detail included in our level 3 survey, Mateo was extremely helpful and arranged a teams call with us as well to go through the report in more detail.
