With overlapping laws, traditional customs, and government regulations, potential property buyers or investors often face a daunting maze of challenges. Did you know that traditional authorities administer much of the land in Accra, or lease it for periods up to 99 years rather than being outright owned? This can come as a surprise for first-time property investors or even seasoned real estate professionals unfamiliar with Ghana’s legal frameworks.
