I got the above image of the house from the Web, while I was researching if foreigners can buy homes in Accra, Ghana. It is interesting to read how many articles have been written with warnings and concerns about buying properties in Ghana.
"When the property is being bought for personal use, there is no need to register with the GIPC but rather, it is necessary to do the checks. There are specific features that most house hunters lookout for and according to property consultant; the most important one is their safety. “Expats are really concerned about their safety. They would want to leave their homes and return without worrying about people breaking into their homes and stealing or committing any crime,” says Omenye. Perhaps this dictates the location and the kind of properties they buy. The are many houses for sale in Accra that are safe and located in very good areas." www.blog.meqasa.com
Safety is probably the number one concern, if you are foreigner in Accra. Ghana has a complicated titling system, according to one tax researcher. If you don’t know what you are doing or if you are not familiar with the property system in Ghana, you can run into a lot of trouble.
