FAQs for UrbanEstates Home PDI

Common questions about pre-delivery inspection, snagging, reports and pricing in Bhubaneswar.

1. What is a Property PDI or Home Inspection?

A Property PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) is a professional inspection of an apartment, villa or house before the buyer accepts possession. UrbanEstates checks visible construction quality, flooring, doors and windows, electrical points, plumbing, bathrooms, kitchen, balconies and other accessible areas and provides a documented inspection report.

2. What is a Pre-Possession Inspection in Bhubaneswar?

A Pre-Possession Inspection in Bhubaneswar is an inspection conducted before you take possession of your new flat, apartment or villa. It helps identify visible defects and incomplete work so that you can communicate the issues to the builder before accepting the property.

3. Why should I get a Property Inspection before taking possession?

A new property may still have finishing defects, drainage problems, hollow tiles, paint issues, leakage indicators, improperly aligned doors/windows or incomplete handover items. An independent property inspection in Bhubaneswar creates photographic evidence and a structured defect list before possession.

4. What does UrbanEstates check during an Apartment Inspection?

Our apartment inspection covers major accessible areas including:

  • Walls, plaster, paint and ceiling
  • Flooring, tiles and grouting
  • Doors and windows
  • Basic electrical checks
  • Plumbing and drainage
  • Kitchen
  • Bathrooms
  • Balcony and utility
  • Fixtures and accessories
  • Keys, meters and handover items

The Standard PDI is built around a 120-point core checklist.

5. Do you provide Flat Inspection services in Bhubaneswar?

Yes. UrbanEstates provides flat inspection in Bhubaneswar for new apartments before possession and can also undertake resale-property inspections. The inspection scope is selected according to the property's size, type and requirements.

6. What is included in a 120-point Property Inspection?

The 120-point inspection covers documentation/specification comparison, walls and ceilings, flooring and tiles, doors/windows, electrical checks, plumbing, kitchen, bathrooms, balcony/utility, fixtures and handover items, along with photographic evidence.

7. Do you provide Apartment Snagging Inspection in Bhubaneswar?

Yes. Our snagging inspection identifies visible defects and incomplete work that should be addressed during the builder's snagging/rectification process. Defects are classified according to severity and supported with photographs and location details.

8. What is a Flat Handover Inspection?

A flat handover inspection is performed before or around the possession/handover stage to document the actual condition of the property. UrbanEstates checks the apartment against the available specifications and identifies visible defects, incomplete items and handover-related observations.

9. Can you inspect my property before I buy it?

Yes. UrbanEstates can provide a pre-purchase property inspection for suitable resale properties. The purpose is to help the buyer understand the visible physical condition of the property before making a purchase decision.

Note: This is a physical-condition inspection and is not a substitute for title, legal or statutory due diligence.

10. Do you inspect Villas and Duplex Houses?

Yes. Our Villa PDI / Villa Inspection has a broader scope than a standard apartment inspection. Depending on accessibility, it can include terraces, external walls, boundary walls, gates, stairs, parking, drainage, tanks/pumps and other external areas.

11. Do you provide NRI Property Inspection in Bhubaneswar?

Yes. Our NRI Property Inspection in Bhubaneswar is designed for owners who cannot personally attend the possession or inspection visit. The service can include document collection, physical inspection, photographs, key/access-card and meter documentation, remote briefing and reinspection.

12. What defects can a Home Inspection identify?

A home inspection can identify visible issues such as:

  • Cracks or plaster defects
  • Paint and finishing problems
  • Hollow-sounding tiles
  • Improper flooring or drainage slope
  • Water leakage indicators
  • Plumbing and drainage issues
  • Door/window alignment problems
  • Electrical-point issues detectable through safe basic checks
  • Bathroom and kitchen defects
  • Balcony drainage problems
  • Missing or incomplete handover items

The inspection does not claim to identify every hidden or concealed defect.

13. Will I receive a Property Inspection Report?

Yes. Customers receive a professional Property Inspection Report containing the inspection findings, defect summary, severity classification, photographic evidence and inaccessible-items list, along with a builder-facing snag summary where applicable.

14. How are defects classified in the Inspection Report?

UrbanEstates uses a structured classification:

  • M1 – Major: Requires rectification/review before acceptance where appropriate.
  • M2 – Moderate: Should be addressed during the snagging cycle.
  • M3 – Minor: Cosmetic or lower-impact issue.
  • NA – Not Accessible: The item could not be inspected and is not assumed to have passed.
  • OBS – Observation: Requires monitoring or verification.
15. How long does a Home Inspection take?

The inspection duration depends on the property size, number of rooms, floors and inspection scope. A typical professional inspection may require 2–4 hours, particularly for larger apartments and villas.

16. How quickly will I receive my Home Inspection Report?

UrbanEstates targets 24–48 hours after the inspection, subject to the inspection scope and workload.

17. How much does a Property Inspection cost in Bhubaneswar?

Our current package prices are:

  • 1 BHK – ₹6,000
  • 2 BHK – ₹8,000
  • 3 BHK – ₹10,000
  • 4 BHK – ₹12,000
  • 5 BHK – ₹14,000
  • Villa – ₹15,000
  • NRI – On Demand
  • Commercial – On Demand

Final pricing can depend on property size, floors, scope and travel. Reinspection is quoted separately after the first visit.

18. Should I get a PDI if the builder has already given me an Occupancy Certificate?

Yes. An Occupancy Certificate does not make an independent physical inspection unnecessary. The purpose of PDI is different: it documents the visible condition of your individual property and identifies defects, finishing issues and incomplete items before acceptance.

However, UrbanEstates does not represent its PDI as a legal verification or certification of the OC, sanctioned plan, title or statutory approvals.

19. Does UrbanEstates provide Structural or Legal Certification?

No. Our standard home inspection service is designed for visual/access checks, non-destructive measurements and safe basic functionality checks.

We do not independently certify structural integrity, high-risk electrical systems, destructive waterproofing investigations, laboratory testing, fire/lift statutory compliance or property title/legal rights. Where necessary, we recommend referral to an appropriately qualified specialist.

20. Why choose UrbanEstates for Property Inspection in Bhubaneswar?

UrbanEstates is positioned around independent buyer-side inspection, standardised methodology and evidence-based reporting. We inspect for the buyer and do not make repair work part of the core inspection relationship. The objective is simple:

Inspect the property. Document the defects. Give the buyer evidence. Help them make a better possession decision.
