What is a property inspection and why is property inspection in Gurgaon important before buying a flat?
A property inspection is a detailed technical assessment of a home’s construction quality, plumbing systems, and electrical safety. Property inspection in Gurgaon is especially important because many new and resale properties develop hidden issues like seepage, hollow tiles, poor wiring, and unsafe plumbing that are not visible during a normal visit.
A professional inspection helps you:
-Detect defects early
-Avoid future repair costs
-Ensure safety for your family
-Negotiate corrections with the builder or seller
