Your price covers built-up area up to 800 sqft; above that it rises by ₹500 per 200 sqft, which is what the figure above already shows. 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). They are indicative ranges, not a quote from any particular company. Very large or unusual properties may be quoted individually — we confirm before booking.
What a home inspection costs in Bangalore
Most Bangalore firms quote between ₹8,000 and ₹20,000 for a standard apartment, and several price per square foot at ₹8–₹25, which turns a large flat into a ₹16,000–₹50,000 bill for work that does not scale linearly with floor area. Thermal imaging is almost always a separate line, typically ₹4,000–₹6,000 on top.
We charge a flat ₹5,999 for an apartment up to 800 sq ft with thermal imaging included, and price larger homes by area on a published scale rather than by quotation. The figures below are what that difference looks like.
| What you need | HomeGyan | Typical Bangalore rate |
|---|---|---|
| New apartment at handover (up to 800 sq ft) | From ₹5,999 | ₹8,000–₹15,000 |
| Larger apartment (800 sq ft and above) | From ₹5,999 + ₹500 per extra 200 sq ft | ₹8–₹25 per sq ft |
| Villa or independent house | From ₹5,999, quoted by built-up area | ₹16,000–₹50,000 |
| Resale flat, pre-purchase | From ₹5,999 | ₹8,000–₹20,000 |
| Thermal imaging | Included | ₹4,000–₹6,000 extra |
| Re-inspection after builder fixes | Included for 30 days from report approval | Usually billed as a fresh visit |

What actually moves the price
Floor area, but not linearly
A 2,000 sq ft flat takes longer than a 1,000 sq ft one, but not twice as long — the electrical distribution board, the plumbing shafts and the terrace above are the same job in both. Per-square-foot pricing charges as though they scale, which is why it produces the largest bills in this market.
Property type
A villa adds its own roof, compound, drainage and sump, none of which exist in an apartment where they belong to the association. That is real extra work and it is the one place a higher figure is honestly earned.
Age and occupancy
A resale flat that has been lived in hides different things from a new handover — previous repairs, seasonal seepage, retrofitted wiring. It takes longer to read a home that has a history.
Instruments included or billed separately
Thermal imaging is the single biggest line-item difference between quotes. A cheaper headline price with a ₹5,000 thermal add-on is usually dearer than a flat rate that includes it — compare the total, not the first number.
What you get afterwards
A photographed, severity-rated report you can forward to a builder is a different product from a one-page summary. Ask what the deliverable looks like before comparing prices — we publish real ones so you can judge ours without asking.
Judge the deliverable for yourself: read a real report or work through the checklist free.
About these numbers
How accurate is this estimate?
It is the figure the booking form will quote for the details you entered, not a guess. Our price starts at ₹5,999 for handover and resale inspections and ₹2,999 for annual maintenance, and covers built-up area up to 800 sqft; beyond that it rises by ₹500 per 200 sqft, which the calculator adds as you move the slider. Resale and annual inspections on a home over five years old also carry an age surcharge, which the booking form asks for. Very large or unusual properties are quoted individually and we confirm the figure before booking, never after.
Why do other companies charge per square foot?
Per-square-foot pricing (typically ₹8–₹25/sqft in Bangalore) scales the whole bill with floor area even though much of the work does not. The electrical system, plumbing and drainage of a 2,400 sqft home are not twice the work of a 800 sqft one, but the bill is. We charge for area too, on the part that genuinely does take longer — ₹500 per 200 sqft above 800, about ₹2.5 per extra sqft, against ₹8–₹25 charged on every sqft from the first.
Is thermal imaging really included?
Yes, at no extra cost. It is commonly quoted as a ₹4,000–₹6,000 add-on elsewhere. We treat it as core scope because concealed moisture and electrical hotspots are precisely what a visual walkthrough cannot find — an inspection without it is substantially less useful.
Are there any charges the calculator does not show?
The calculator shows the base price and the area charge in full. The one thing it does not ask is the year your home was built: resale and annual inspections on a property over five years old carry an age surcharge, because an older home takes materially longer to inspect. The booking form asks for it and shows the exact total before you confirm. Beyond that the price covers the inspection, the photographic report, the RERA rectification letter and one follow-up re-inspection taken within 30 days. There is no charge to request a booking, and nothing is payable until the inspection is confirmed.
