Land Ownership & Legal Framework

Expert support for every step of acquisition

Property ownership in Ghana follows several land types — customary, leasehold, and freehold (for citizens only). Foreign investors can acquire leasehold interests up to 50 years, renewable upon expiration. All land transactions must be verified through the Lands Commission, with legal documentation including site plan, indenture, and land title. Z3® Ghana partners with vetted legal experts to ensure safe and transparent acquisition for all clients.
