PROPCHECKUP: Your Trusted Partner For All Home Inspection Needs
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.” “Home is where the heart is.” – Tony Sera. Home is the only ecosystem on earth that can be termed as the most treasured and desirable location. More than just a physical location, it is infused with memories and is the only place, helping to escape the busyness and intrusiveness. In India, buying a house is the most precious and largest financial investment. To such an investment, people overlook the need for a home inspection before moving in, which often results in drastic tragedies.
Home Inspection helps to bring forward many underlying concerns, with respect to construction quality, electrical connections, etc. It also provides a 360-degree view of the property and provides a report of any structural and material shortcomings, illegal or faulty installations. In short, a home inspection gives the assurance to a buyer; whether he is putting money in the right place or not. Under the Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA) 2016, the govt. of India has provided space for Home Inspection agencies to help people finding their desirable residence. PropCheckup leads this space as the first Home inspection startup establishment and has completed around a decade of business in India.
