You do not need a Ghanaian partner, a local sponsor or a co-buyer, and you can sell, let or transfer the property as any other owner would. What matters in practice is who you buy from and how the paperwork is handled.

Points to confirm with your lawyer
The legal position of foreign buyers in Ghana, including the form of title and any term attached to it, is set by Ghanaian law and can change. We do not restate the rules here; the points below are the ones a Ghanaian lawyer will confirm for your specific purchase.
- The form of title you will hold and, where applicable, its term and renewal.
- Any registration steps and fees that apply to you as a non-resident buyer.
- How rent from the apartment can be received abroad, and what tax applies to it.
- How the apartment can later be sold, let or passed on.
Our team walks you through the documents and answers what we can; for the points above we will refer you to counsel, and you are welcome to bring your own.
After the purchase
If you intend to let the apartment, tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance and reporting can all be handled for you, on site. How letting works at Grand Mirage.
