Fun Facts About Buying Land in Ghana
Before we dive into the serious stuff, let’s start with a few interesting facts:
1. You can own land even as a foreigner!
Foreigners can buy land in Ghana through leasehold agreements — typically 50 years for residential use and 25 years for commercial use.
2. Land prices vary widely.
You can find affordable plots starting around GHS 20,000 in developing areas — while lands in premium zones like Airport Hills or Cantonments can reach over GHS 1 million.
3. Land is one of the fastest appreciating assets in Ghana.
As cities like Accra, Tema, and Kasoa expand, nearby lands increase in value every year — sometimes doubling within 3–5 years!
4. Land titles differ by region. Some areas fall under stool lands (traditional ownership), others under state lands, and some are private lands — understanding this helps you buy safely.
Essential Tips for Buying Land in Ghana
Buying land is exciting — but without proper guidance, it can become risky. Follow these essential steps to ensure a smooth and secure purchase:
Location is everything. Consider accessibility, road networks, proximity to schools, hospitals, and future development plans.
Popular areas for new buyers include:
Tema Community 25 – Peaceful and well-planned
Oyarifa & Ayi Mensah – Affordable and scenic
Pokuase & Amasaman – Fast-developing and great for investment
Prampram & Kasoa – Ideal for residential and coastal developments
At Zuri Estate, we only list strategically located, verified plots that guarantee value growth.
Before you buy, always check the land’s documentation at the Lands Commission to confirm ownership and avoid multiple sales.
Essential documents to verify include:
Site plan (signed and approved)
Indenture or lease agreement
Land title certificate (if available)
Zuri Estate provides litigation-free lands with all legal documents ready — giving you peace of mind.
Working with professionals saves time, money, and stress. A reputable agency like Zuri Estate will handle everything from due diligence to final registration, ensuring your transaction is 100% legitimate.
Avoid “middlemen” or informal agents who can’t provide proper documentation or proof of ownership.
Land prices can vary based on size, location, and development stage. Remember to factor in surveying, registration, legal fees, and land guard costs (if any).
Zuri Estate offers transparent pricing and flexible payment options, so you know exactly what you’re paying for — no hidden surprises.
Once you buy your land, register it at the Lands Commission under your name. This legally confirms your ownership and protects your investment.
Without registration, your ownership rights remain vulnerable — even if you have receipts or an indenture.
