Ghana real estate for the diaspora

Houses in Ghana for the diaspora, without the horror stories.

Everyone in the diaspora knows someone who sent money home for a house that was never built, or bought land that was sold twice. This platform exists so that does not happen to you.

We visit and film every home we list, we publish its paperwork, we insist your own lawyer checks the title, and money only ever moves by bank transfer to the vendor. Then we keep you informed — with photographs and video — until you have the keys.

  • Every home visited and filmed
  • Title position on every listing
  • Live video viewings in your time zone
  • Pay the vendor by bank transfer only

Houses for sale in Ghana for diaspora buyers

See all 156

Built for buying from a distance

Live video viewings in your time zone. Shortlists by WhatsApp. A desk that answers inside two working hours. A written report at every stage of an off-plan build. And, after handover, an introduction to a letting manager if the house is going to earn while you are abroad.

The six steps

  1. 01Tell us the brief — budget, city, bedrooms, and whether you want to live in it, let it or both. A thirty-minute video call is usually enough.
  2. 02We shortlist from verified stock only: every listing on this site has been visited and filmed, and its title position is written down on the page.
  3. 03Live video viewing. One of us walks the house, the street and the neighbours on WhatsApp or Zoom while you ask questions — no relative has to take a day off work.
  4. 04Your own Ghanaian lawyer runs the land search at the Lands Commission and reviews the sale agreement. Under the Land Act, 2020 only a lawyer may prepare a conveyance.
  5. 05You pay the developer or vendor by bank transfer, never in cash and never through us. The Real Estate Agency Act, 2020 bars agents from taking cash.
  6. 06Handover and registration, with photographs and a written update at each stage — and, if the house is to earn while you are abroad, an introduction to a letting manager.

Questions buyers ask

How do you protect me from land fraud?

We only publish homes we have visited and filmed, and we write the title position on every listing. We also insist your own lawyer runs a search at the Lands Commission before any money moves. Selling the same plot twice is the most common fraud against buyers abroad; a search and a lawyer-prepared conveyance are what stop it.

Can I own property in Ghana if I live abroad or hold a foreign passport?

Yes. Ghanaian citizens — including dual citizens living abroad — can hold land outright. Under section 10 of the Land Act, 2020 a non-citizen cannot be granted a freehold and a lease to a non-citizen cannot exceed 50 years at a time, which is the same position as most apartments and estate homes sold to foreign buyers. Check your citizenship status and the lease term on the title with your own lawyer before you pay a deposit.

How do I pay safely from overseas?

By bank transfer to the vendor or developer, against a written and signed agreement your lawyer has reviewed. Never pay cash and never pay an individual “on behalf of” a seller. Licensed agents are not allowed to take cash under the Real Estate Agency Act, 2020. Agree in the contract which currency you are paying in and which exchange rate applies on each instalment date.

Do I need to fly to Ghana to buy?

Not to choose. Most of our overseas clients shortlist and view by live video, and many sign through their lawyer. Most still fly in once before completion to see the house in person and meet the developer — we plan that trip around a short viewing day so it is worth the flight.

General guidance, not legal advice. Read the law behind a Ghana property purchase.

  • “BOUGHT TWO FLATS WITH MY PENSION FUND”

    Bought two beautiful flats in a great location. The flats were clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The space was well looked after and felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!
