Buy Land in Ghana Safely
Land fraud is a real risk in Ghana. Mituho Projects conducts full due diligence, Lands Commission searches, and title verification — so you don't get caught out.
Types of Land in Ghana
Understanding what you're buying is the first step to buying safely.
Freehold (Allodial)
Absolute ownership with no time limit. Rare and most secure — typically held by traditional authorities.
Leasehold
Fixed-term lease (typically 50–99 years) from a landowner or the government. Common in urban areas.
Stool / Family Land
Land held communally by a family or stool. Must be properly documented and registered to be safe for building.
Common Land Fraud Warning Signs
- Sellers who pressure you to pay quickly or pay cash
- Plots with "verbal agreements" but no paper trail
- Land without a site plan registered at Survey Department
- Indentures not yet registered at the Lands Commission
- Multiple copies of a title deed showing different owners
Always verify before you pay. Mituho Projects can check any plot before you commit a single cedi.
