Home Inspection in Basavanagudi, Bengaluru
Basavanagudi is one of the oldest planned parts of Bengaluru, and a large share of what trades here is pre-independence housing on generous plots. The practical question on most of our inspections is whether the existing structure justifies restoration or the site is worth more cleared.
What our engineers look for in Basavanagudi
Heritage independent houses, many seventy or more years old, alongside builder floors created from redeveloped sites and a few modern apartment blocks.
Load-bearing masonry and lintel distress
Pre-RCC construction in brick and stone. We assess settlement cracking and lintel condition, and whether the shell could carry an additional floor if you intend to redevelop.
Madras terrace and timber roof decay
Traditional roofs rot where timber bears into damp masonry — invisible from below and the most commonly missed defect in this housing stock.
Rising damp with no damp-proof course
Buildings from this era have no DPC. Groundwater wicks up through solid walls, showing as salt staining and blown plaster at skirting level.
Original electrical and drainage at end of life
Ceramic fuses, surface conduit, no earthing, and stoneware drainage that has been patched for decades. These need full replacement, and the cost belongs in the offer.

Home inspection in Basavanagudi — FAQs
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. 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.
