Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Ghana should start by researching the local real estate market. They should look for reputable real estate agents and brokers who can help them find the right property. It is also important to research the local laws and regulations regarding foreign ownership of property in Ghana. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Ghana, but there are certain restrictions. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land in Ghana, but they can own buildings and other structures. Additionally, foreigners must obtain permission from the Ghanaian government before they can purchase a property. Houses in Ghana typically include basic amenities such as running water, electricity, and sanitation. Many homes also have air conditioning, security systems, and other modern amenities. Depending on the location and price range, some homes may also include swimming pools, gardens, and other luxury features.
