Questions from Property Buyers

In Ghana, property taxes are calculated and collected by local municipal or district assemblies and typically range between 0.05% and 1% of the property’s value. The rates are determined based on the classification of the area where the property is located. For example, in high-end residential areas like Airport Residential, East Legon, and Ridge in Accra (classified as Residential Class 1A), the rate is 0.17% of the property’s value.
Additionally, rental income taxes apply to property owners, with an 8% tax on residential rental income and a 15% withholding tax on commercial rents.
These rates are subject to regular reviews and depend on enforcement efforts by local authorities.
There are no taxes to be paid before buying a property. However, upon registering the property with the lands commission, fees will be taken for stamp duty and property registration. This may be as much as between 7% - 10% of the total property price.
Yes, you can. A leasehold can be converted to a freehold through either a customary law freehold or a common-law freehold.
With leasehold, the buyer only owns the building but rents the land on which the building is. Therefore, it is required to pay a renewal amount after a number of years. Mostly 99 years, while with freehold, no renewal amount whatsoever is paid because both the building and the land have been bought.
Yes. With a properly drafted POA and a call to the owner to confirm the document in question, the representative of the owner may list their properties.
Power of Attorney allows a person to authorize another person the right to make decisions regarding the person's assets, finances and real estate properties.
There are two types of power of attorney. First, the 'General Power of Attorney' where a property owner confers 'general' rights. The rights include but are not limited to sell, lease, sub-lease etc. The second one is the 'Special Power of Attorney' where only a specific right is given by the owner to the chosen person.
You can register your property with the lands Commission of Ghana.
Property registration is acquiring a certified title for your property. This proves you to be the owner of the property in question.
