Home Inspection in Malleshwaram, Bengaluru
Malleshwaram holds some of the oldest continuously occupied housing in the city, with heritage-era buildings alongside recent premium apartments. Inspections here need judgement about traditional construction rather than a checklist written for RCC towers.
What our engineers look for in Malleshwaram
Heritage independent houses, mid-century apartments and a small number of high-end new developments.
Timber structural elements
Older homes use timber joists and rafters. Rot and termite damage concentrate where timber bears into damp masonry — hidden from a visual walkthrough.
Rising damp in solid masonry walls
Buildings predating damp-proof courses wick groundwater up through the walls. It presents as persistent damp and salt staining at skirting level.
Heritage-era electrical systems
Surface conduit, ceramic fuses and no earthing. Full replacement, not patching, is what these need.
Roof tile and gutter condition
Mangalore tile roofs need regular attention. Slipped tiles and blocked valley gutters cause leaks that spread far from the entry point.

Home inspection in Malleshwaram — 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.
