How it works

Six things we do before you pay a single cedi for the property.

Everything a careful buyer would do if they lived in Accra full time. Done by people who actually do.

Brief and Search

We start with your budget, target yield, timeline and lifestyle constraints, then shortlist in East Legon, Airport Residential, Cantonments or Labone and the rest of Accra from both on-market listings and off-market inventory in our network.

Remote Tour and Inspection

Live video walk-throughs so you see the property as if you were there. In-person inspection by our team with a written report on condition, finishings and neighbourhood.

Price Negotiation

We benchmark against comparable sales in the same neighbourhood, negotiate on your behalf, and walk away when the number does not work.

Title and Legal Verification

Our Ghanaian property lawyers trace the full title chain at the Lands Commission, confirm it is not stool, family or disputed land, and draft a sale agreement registered in your name.

Building Due Diligence

For apartments, we pull service charge history, reserve fund health and developer track record. For standalone homes, we run the physical survey and confirm the building matches the registered plot.

Handover at Completion

Keys, title documents, snagging list, utility transfers, management committee contacts and furnished inventory in one clean pack. Ready to rent the day you receive it in Accra.

The process

Five steps from brief to keys in your name.

Timelines are indicative. Most clients go from first call to completion in three to four months, depending on financing.

01

Brief call

30 minutes on WhatsApp or Zoom. Budget, target yield, timeline, whether you will eventually live in it yourself, what you absolutely do not want in Accra.

02

Shortlist in 14 days

We come back with 5 to 8 properties that fit the brief in Accra, with video, photos, rental comps and expected net yield for each. You approve a short list.

03

In-person inspection

We physically inspect every property on the short list, write condition reports and flag anything that would concern an owner who had not been to Accra recently.

04

Negotiate and secure

We negotiate on your behalf, lock in the price with a deposit, and run the conveyancing with our Ghana property lawyers to completion.

05

Handover, rent-ready

At completion we hand you a turnkey property: keys, title documents, snagging list, utilities in your name and management committee contacts.

How we work

Free for you. Built to find a property in Accra you will actually keep.

The service is free for you as the buyer. That means we can only succeed by finding you a property good enough that you want us to manage it afterwards, or good enough that you recommend us to the next diaspora buyer in your circle. The incentive is to find the right property in Accra, not to close the first one.

Accra specificIn Accra the single biggest buyer trap is a title that looks clean on the deed but sits on stool or family land with a disputed chain. We verify the full chain at the Lands Commission before you wire a cent.
