Market figures are published Bangalore ranges (₹8,000–₹20,000 flat, or ₹8–₹25 per sqft, with thermal imaging commonly billed at ₹4,000–₹6,000 extra).

Why we cost ₹5,999 when others charge ₹10,000

Published apartment inspection rates in Bengaluru run from ₹6,000 to ₹20,000, and the firms that quote a flat price openly mostly sit at ₹8,000–₹10,000. We charge ₹5,999 for the same 200+ checkpoints and the same 24-hour report. Here is where that difference actually comes from.

No franchise layer

Several of the larger names operate as international franchises and carry the licence fee that comes with one. We are a Bengaluru company answering to nobody overseas.

Engineers, not a sales desk

There is no relationship manager between you and the person who inspected your home. The engineer who found the defect is the one who writes it up.

The software is ours

Reports, photographs and the builder letter are generated by our own system. Nobody is paying a per-report licence and passing it on.

What ₹5,999 already includes

No add-ons required, and nothing here is billed separately.

  • A RERA Section 14(3) rectification letterAddressed to your builder, written to be forwarded as-is. They stay liable for structural defects for five years from possession.
  • A second visit to verify the fixesFree re-inspection within 30 days. The first visit builds the snag list; the second checks the builder actually did the work.
  • A defect tracker with builder follow-upMark each defect fixed with before and after photographs, for 30 days after the report.
  • Repair cost estimatesWhat each defect should cost to put right, so you can judge a quote rather than accept one.

Inspections We Specialise In

Different jobs need different eyes. Snagging a new flat is not the same work as assessing a twenty-year-old resale, and neither is tracing a leak.

Common Questions

How much does a home inspection cost in Bangalore?

HomeGyan inspections start at ₹5,999 for new handover and resale properties, and ₹2,999 for an annual maintenance check. Most Bangalore inspection firms charge ₹8,000–₹20,000 for comparable scope. Thermal imaging and the RERA rectification letter are included at no extra cost, not billed as add-ons.

How long does the inspection take and when do I get the report?

A 2BHK apartment takes about 3 hours, a 3BHK or villa 4–5 hours. Your detailed PDF report — photographs, severity ratings and an AI-generated plain-English summary — is delivered within 24 hours of the site visit.

What does the inspection actually cover?

Over 200 checkpoints across structure, walls and ceilings, flooring, doors and windows, electrical systems, plumbing and drainage, waterproofing, kitchen and bathroom fit-out, balconies, and external areas. We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to find defects that are not visible to the eye.

Can I use the report to make the builder fix the defects?

Yes — that is the point. Every report includes a builder rectification letter drafted to reference RERA Section 14(3), which makes the builder liable for structural and workmanship defects for five years from handover. Inspect before you sign the possession letter and your position is considerably stronger.

Do you re-inspect after the builder completes repairs?

Yes, and it is included, provided you take it within 30 days of your inspection. Once the builder reports the defects fixed, we return to verify each one and issue an updated report with before-and-after photographs. There is no additional charge for the re-inspection.

Can you inspect for me if I am an NRI or living in another city?

Yes. We run a live video walkthrough so you can see the property in real time and direct the inspector as they go. We coordinate access with the builder or seller directly, and the full report reaches you within 24 hours. You do not need to be in India at any point.
