We have used Richard to conduct Home Buyers survey on semi detached house.
He responded timely to initial request and provided full information required to book his services and his availability.
The day before the survey was scheduled Richard called me to discuss any concerns about property I may have.
On the day of the survey after completing it in the morning he called in the afternoon to briefly discuss to general status and findings and the full report followed within 2 days.
The report is very clear and descriptive, with good quality pictures and enough level of information to make informed decision.
Overall we were very happy with the quality of service we received, both timing and content wise.

I am in the process of selling my flat, and needed a RICS valuation for the Freeholder. I had been having a stressful time with certain aspects of the sale, and felt this was yet another stress I could do without!
However, Richard made the whole experience easy to deal with.
He is engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. I felt that I was in safe hands.
Richard was very prompt with the report.
I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Really recommend Oades Residential Surveying. Richard surveyed the house we are in the process of buying. He completed a really thorough and detailed survey including drone footage. The report was completed promptly after the survey was carried out. The report was honest and detailed but easy to understand for people like myself with limited knowledge of construction and anything I wasn’t sure of Richard was very happy to explain. Really impressed with the service and would highly recommend.

Would highly recommend. His correspondence and delivery of the report was as he recommend. He is kind and honest with his feedback. I provided the survey to a friend in the industry and they were also impressed by the level of detail

Would highly recommend to all! Also an overall lovely chap too.

We were recommended Richard by a friend to carry out a house buyer’s survey, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service he provided. His report exceeded our expectations — it was incredibly detailed, clear, and thorough. Richard took the time to talk us through the findings and was always available to answer any questions we had, no matter how small. He was professional, informative, and approachable throughout the entire process. If we move again in the future, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Richard’s services again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely helpful surveyor.

Myself and my girlfriend had requested quotes from multiple Surveyor firms and found them to be quite expensive. The estate agents we were working with referred us to Richard and Oades Residential Surveying. Richard's quote was vastly more pleasing compared to the other firms, and he completed a quick view of the property online to confirm the type of survey we would need. All very efficiently and on a Bank Holiday! He then scheduled a sit-down call to go through the survey report structure and answer any questions we had.
Richard was able to squeeze us into his schedule so soon after first contact.
After seeing our new property to complete his survey, he dropped us a quick call to give us a summary of what he was going to write up in his report, giving us early peace of mind that everything was positive. Richard remains available to answer any questions we may still have.
Overall our experience has been excellent. We would highly recommend getting in contact with Oades Residential Surveying, and will be promoting him to our friends buying in the Sheffield area going forward.

Richard was great, he did a red book valuation survey for us for help to buy purposes. He was recommended to us and we are really glad he was. He was helpful, informative, personable and friendly. We didn’t know the first thing about the survey needed for us originally but after speaking to Richard, he made us aware of our options and made it easy for us to make an informed decision. He booked us in really quickly, and we were really happy with the outcome of the survey. Would highly recommend to anyone. Exceeded our expectations.

Richard was professional and timely, with helpful communication through the entire process. The report was thorough and well written with fantastic attention to detail. He called us before the survey to ask if we had any specific areas of concern, and afterwards to discuss. Overall a very good experience. Thanks.

Richard was very professional and helpful. He took the time to explain the process, to ask if we had anything we particularly wanted him to check and answer our questions. The report was comprehensive and easy to understand. I would thoroughly recommend Richard.

Richard has been superb throughout. Really easy to deal with and was very helpful having a phone call both before the survey to discuss any matters and then a follow up after the survey to review the points in what was a very comprehensive but easy to understand survey document, complete with pictures and advice. Would really recommend using Richard.

Rich has been brilliant throughout the survey process. He's very responsive, very thorough, and takes the time to explain things carefully.

Buying on my own was a little nerve wracking but with Richard's knowledge and personal service, I had nothing to worry about! He really helped me understand the property inside and out, plus consider the longer term aspects of the investment. This all led to a much smoother, stress free buying process which I am so very grateful for!

Reply from Oades Residential Surveying
As first-time buyers, we were a little uncertain on how the survey process worked but Richard was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and made this part of our house purchase as stress-free as possible. Richard was always contactable, made everything clear and understandable and ensured we were made aware of everything we needed to be regarding the property we were buying.
Thanks Richard!
