Home Inspection in Ulsoor, Bengaluru
Ulsoor is old cantonment Bengaluru — dense, centrally located and built long before modern construction standards. Buildings here are frequently a century old, wedged onto narrow plots with minimal access, and both facts shape the inspection.
What our engineers look for in Ulsoor
Very old independent houses and low-rise apartments around the lake and cantonment streets, with a few premium redevelopments.
Century-old masonry construction
Lime mortar and solid masonry walls need appraisal on their own terms. Modern crack-width criteria simply do not apply, and applying them produces the wrong conclusion.
Rising damp near the lake
Lake proximity plus no damp-proof course means groundwater wicks continuously up through the walls. It is manageable but never fully eliminated.
Party walls and shared structure
Buildings share structural walls with neighbours. Any repair or redevelopment involves the adjoining owner, which is a practical constraint worth knowing early.
Access constraints for repair
Narrow lanes restrict scaffolding and material access. It materially raises the cost of any external repair, and that belongs in your purchase calculation.

Home inspection in Ulsoor — 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.
