If you are buying property in Ghana, the real risk is not the price. It is picking the wrong developer.

Anyone can show you beautiful renders. Prioritize developers who can show completed projects, clear documentation, and a track record you can verify.

This list gives you a strong starting point.

How this list was built

  • Active developers with official websites and public projects
  • Proven track records (completed or ongoing estates you can verify)

How to Compare Developers (Quick Scorecard)

Use this checklist to compare options without getting distracted by marketing:

  • Track record: Can you visit completed projects and speak to past buyers?
  • Land title: Is the land verifiable at the Lands Commission?
  • Permits: Do they have development and building permits in place?
  • Build quality: Are material specs, finishes, and warranties documented?
  • Payment terms: Are payments tied to verified milestones, not promises?
  • After-sales: Who manages the property, service charges, and defects?

Questions to Ask Before You Pay Anything

  1. Who owns the land and what type of title is it?
  2. Can I see the approved site plan and building permits?
  3. What is the exact construction timeline and penalty for delays?
  4. What is included in the price (fixtures, appliances, utilities)?
  5. What warranty do you provide and how do you handle defects?
  6. Who manages the property after handover and what are the fees?

Red Flags Diaspora Buyers Should Not Ignore

  • You are pushed to pay quickly without documentation.
  • The developer cannot show a completed project you can visit.
  • Payments are requested to personal accounts.
  • Vague answers about land title, permits, or project schedule.
  • No written contract with milestone-based payment terms.

Final Advice: Verify, Then Decide

These companies are a strong starting point, not a guarantee. Your protection comes from verification:

  • Confirm land title at the Lands Commission
  • Use an independent inspector to verify build quality
  • Agree on milestones for payments with builder, get it in writing and stick to it

If you are buying from abroad, systems beat trust every time.


Frequently Asked Questions

Are these the only good real estate companies in Ghana?

No. This list is a starting shortlist of well-known developers with public track records. There are other solid firms, but you should verify them the same way.

Does GREDA membership mean a developer is safe?

It is a positive signal, not a guarantee. Membership does not replace land title checks, permits, or independent site verification.

Is it safer to buy from a developer than from an individual?

Often yes, but not always. Developers can still cut corners. The only safe path is documentation, inspections, and milestone-based payments.

Should I buy a finished home or buy off-plan?

Finished homes reduce construction risk but cost more upfront. Off-plan can be cheaper but requires stronger verification and stricter payment controls.
