Home Inspection in Richmond Town, Bengaluru
Richmond Town and the adjoining Langford and Shanti Nagar areas are central Bengaluru at its most expensive per square foot, with apartment stock spanning six decades. Buyers here pay for address and land value, which makes an unsentimental assessment of the building itself particularly worthwhile.
What our engineers look for in Richmond Town
Older premium apartments and independent houses, under sustained pressure from commercial and hospitality conversion.
Ageing apartment common services
Lifts, pumps, risers and shared plumbing in buildings thirty to fifty years old. Replacement arrives as a special assessment on owners, often shortly after purchase.
Concrete condition in mid-century blocks
Balcony soffits and beams from this era show carbonation and reinforcement corrosion. Rust staining and spalling indicate how far it has progressed.
Parking provision far below current need
Buildings designed when one car per household was generous. Parking disputes are among the most common practical complaints in these blocks.
Commercial conversion in the same building
Offices and clinics operating in residential buildings add electrical load, plumbing demand and footfall the structure was never planned for.

Home inspection in Richmond Town — 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.
