Sky is just speaking legal phrases. I don't see the point of going to the Lands Commission to conduct a search. The information held by the Lands Commission should be available on the web. I should be able to sit in the comfort of my office and find out who owns any property in Ghana if I so wish.

Stop suggesting mortgage and all that nonsense knowing very well that houses are being priced in dollars. Are you sure you people reside in this country?

Pricing of building materials in Ghana is too arbitrary. I bought a ton of iron rods in March at Ghc6400, six weeks later it was Ghc7600. Today 21/5/24 it's Ghc8200. How can there be a price increase of nearly Ghc2000. We need serious price control reforms.

But with building you can go at your own pace. I started building immediately after national service. I was fortunate I did not encounter land litigation and was working with a tipper truck so materials like sand and stones I got pretty cheap

Having a mortgage is actually not a bad idea but the issue is the interest rate in Ghana which is too high only because your interest rate is not based on the growth of your economy but instead it is tied around the US dollar, for instance anytime the dollar shoots up the interest rates follow suit. Rates are meant to yo-yo only when the economy shrinks or grow. If you ask me with the type of economy you have in Ghana (dollar economy) whether you mortgage or build it ends up being the same because, at the end of the day, the cost of building materials again is based on the dollar. The only difference is that the builder takes the stress away when it comes to a mortgage whereas if you build you'd have to deal with land issues plus organise tradies (masons, carpenters, electricians, labrours, plumbers, etc.) Basically, it all boils down to your pocket. Great show!!!
@user-ii1ki7rc4eАй бұрын
All is about the dollar to cedi and until that is fixed nothing can be done Whether to built or buy all depends on your pocket. I will always advice beginners to built cos with the building one can start by building one or two bedroom and later expand. Mortgage is so risky in this our economy.

To address the issue of land management and revenue generation, a comprehensive property tax system should be implemented. Under this system, all landowners would be required to pay an annual property tax based on the assessed value of their land. Failure to pay this tax within a specified period would result in the government having the authority to sell the property to recover the owed taxes. This approach ensures a fair contribution from landowners towards public services and infrastructure, while also providing a mechanism to prevent land hoarding and promote responsible land use.

I dont see anything in paying rent. Its better than starting the building and leaving it in the middle. You cant live in it and you have your capital locked up as well.

Simply do your land search at the lands commission (You don't really need a lawyer for this), figure out the real owner from the lands commission and approach them. Test the land by purchasing your chippings or sand on the land, and wait for a month or two, if no one comes complete your payments and move to build ASAP.
