Future Home Surveys

Not all surveys are the same.

At Future Home Surveys, every report is built on careful attention to detail, clear thinking, and a commitment to doing the job properly.

No shortcuts.
No pressure to sell.
Just honest, reliable advice you can trust when making one of life’s biggest decisions.

At Future Home Surveys, we believe every home deserves the confidence that comes from a thorough, trustworthy survey. Founded by former Royal Navy Engineering Officer Martin Shortt AssocRICS, our practice is built on precision, reliability and service — values forged through years of discipline and dedication.
After leaving the Navy, Martin completed a Master of Science in Real Estate and worked with several respected firms. Along the way he saw the need for a more personal, client focused approach, so he created Future Home Surveys, placing quality and customer care at the centre of every instruction. We understand that buying a family home is a personal and often emotional journey.

That is why we encourage direct communication with your surveyor at every stage. Before the inspection we talk through your priorities to make sure the right survey is chosen. After you receive the report you can speak with the surveyor again to walk through the findings and recommendations in plain English. Our reports are tailored to the individual property and your specific requirements.

They are clear, free of jargon, illustrated with photographs, and prepared by surveyors who are under no pressure to meet sales targets — guaranteeing thorough work and considered advice every time. We are proud to be a local firm with deep roots in the community. Martin and his family live close to the border between Shropshire and Mid Wales, an area he has known since childhood.

That local knowledge underpins our work across Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Telford, Market Drayton, Wrexham, Oswestry, Welshpool, Newtown and everywhere in between.

🏡 A website we built for Future Home Surveys

Here is a short preview of a website we created for Future Home Surveys, a professional residential property surveying service based in Shropshire and operating across Shropshire, Cheshire and Mid Wales.

The website was designed to clearly explain their services, guide home buyers through the survey process, and make it easy for potential customers to get in touch.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we work closely with small businesses to build modern websites that present their services clearly and support their long term growth online.

Future Home Surveys are a valued Mountain Forty Nine customer, and it has been a pleasure supporting their digital presence.

Take a look at the short preview video below.

🏡 Thinking of buying a home? Don’t skip the survey.

We recently inspected a charming semi located in a quiet hamlet between Shrewsbury and Telford — but behind the nice exterior, we found serious structural concerns, outdated electrics, and drainage issues.

Our Level 2 RICS Home Survey gave the buyer the full picture—and the confidence to make an informed decision.

🔍 Not all problems are visible on the surface…
During a recent survey, we uncovered active woodworm hidden in a damp cellar with poor ventilation. Without proper checks, that kind of issue can go unnoticed — and cost thousands down the line.

At Future Home Surveys, we spot what others miss.

📞 Get in touch if you’re buying and want peace of mind.
