Investing in Ghanaian real estate: a guide for the diaspora

Ghana is one of the African diaspora's favourite places to invest: stability, a growing economy, and a property market where values have risen sharply in Accra. But investing remotely demands particular rigour.

Where to invest?

Accra (East Legon, Cantonments, Airport Residential) holds the high end and the best resale liquidity: 1,000 to 3,500 GH₵/m² depending on the standard. Tema (port, industry) and Kumasi often offer higher rental yields.

Securing the title, the critical step

In Ghana, most disputes concern land. Watch-points:

• Run a search at the Lands Commission to confirm ownership and the absence of disputes.
• Favour properties with a clear leasehold (often 99 years) and a cadastral plan.
• Appoint a local lawyer independent from the seller.

Managing remotely

Entrust rental management to a verified partner and require monthly reporting. Imonga is building rental-management tools to track rent and receipts online.
