Ghana Property Investment Weekends

Yes. Ghana allows non-citizens to hold leasehold interests in land for up to 50 years, with options to renew. While foreigners cannot own land outright (freehold), leasehold arrangements provide secure, long-term property rights suitable for investment and personal use.

Property tax in Ghana is relatively low compared to Western countries. Rental income is taxed at 8-15% depending on classification. Property transfer taxes apply at 15% of property value. We provide detailed tax guidance during the legal workshop and can connect you with tax advisors specializing in diaspora investments.

Some developers offer payment plans allowing you to pay over 12-36 months. Mortgage options for diaspora investors are expanding, though interest rates are higher than Western markets (18-25%). Many investors choose to purchase outright or use payment plans to avoid financing costs.

Our partner management companies handle day-to-day operations including tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance, and property inspections. They provide monthly reports and digital access to financials. Management fees typically range from 8-12% of rental income.

Rental yields in prime Accra areas range from 8-12% annually, significantly higher than most Western markets. Capital appreciation has averaged 10-15% per year in developing neighborhoods. Investment returns vary by location, property type, and management quality.
