Vanessa please tell him to build more affordable projects like pokuase heights. A lot of the diaspora are not rich we are just getting by. Also this will help local Ghanaians to be able to afford it.
The Audacity to say that a 70x100 parcel of land costing USD $25,000 is AFFORDABLE is simply disrespectful to the hard working people of Ghana. This is corporate GREED ! Why not sell these lands in the local currency??!!!
@@junity1 I don’t understand how they under value the ghanian currency and promote and value dollar. They simply ignore the citizens whom the lands belong too. N focus on selling their lands to foreigners to take it over. This is like slavery.
Thank you, Vanessa, for raising the important issue of leasehold and freehold properties. All of the content creators I’ve watched, don’t even discuss this subject. Instead they romanticise the property market while overlooking key aspects like service charges and the implications of lease renewals. It would be fascinating to explore the cost of renewing a lease, especially since 60 years feels shockingly short. Personally, I find the idea of leasehold properties unappealing. I’m not sure if it’s a remnant of colonialism or rooted in tradition, but either way, it’s an aspect of property ownership I strongly dislike.
@@tiffanyboney Freehold means you own the property and the land outright. Leasehold, on the other hand, is the opposite. While you may have bought or built your million-dollar house, the land, the building, or sometimes both, are leased. At the end of the 60-year contract, you’ll need to pay a fee to renew the lease. Furthermore, if you’re dealing with an organization or an unscrupulous landlord, they can charge any amount they want. If you can’t afford it, you could lose everything, no matter how much money you’ve invested in the bricks and mortar. For some properties, like certain flats, leasehold arrangements can make sense, but it ultimately means you don’t truly own anything outright.

@ thank you for that explanation. That sounds similar to taxes paid on property in the USA. We never truly own it because we must pay taxes. You don’t pay your taxes then someone else can pay your taxes and penalties on your property and now become the owner. It would be nice to fully own something and not have to pay someone for land or property.
The freehold system largely a reaction TO colonialism. Foreigners can't take over the land again, at least not permanently. If you have enough money you can buy your way into most countries, but with a leasehold, the land still technically belongs to the country. Right now, key tracts of premium agricultural and coastal land are being gobbled up by foreigners with vastly more spending power than the local population who struggle to compete. So the system technically prevents local people losing access to their ancestral lands forever which can happen in smaller nations in desirable locations- Jamaica, Sri Lanka and Hawaii for instance. Lease renewal happens all the time.
As much as I love this. N I really do. I absolutely hate that the local people are priced out of everything, every 4kin thing. It will be interesting if you did a video of the flip side from the local people point of view. The wealth disparity Is at the highest it's ever been n growing. It hurts when you have memories of many places n next thing they are gated houses n opulent houses you can't even dream off.
Yes, this exactly. Often it is people priced out of land ownership in their home countries who have arrived in Ghana and unknowingly do the same to people here.
That’s why over price for a land you can never own , 50 year lease is a joke , 25 thousand dollars is a scam , they are even telling lies it’s 50 year lease not 60 and the owner do not have to renew the lease that’s why it’s call lease , I paid only 1500 pounds for my plots in the same area
Thank you Vanessa for sharing this video. I'm amazed at many are complaining and not grateful for the opportunity that is available. It's not that the cost is to high, just find what for your budget.
I think many people have not yet understood what is generally going on in Africa at the moment. It's getting more expensive instead of cheaper. If you can, buy land in Ghana now.
How are you selling something that is being leased? Isn’t “selling” the transfer of ownership? So how is it being leased with option to renew but it’s being sold? I am confused. Misnomer?
@@VanessaKanbi hi Vanessa, I’m trying to find out if the guy you were talking to do they build places for people I’m trying to buy Bill a homeless shelter for me and my homeless children. I have in Ghana and I’m trying to build a small school. Also I will plan to move to Ghana in about two years. I’ve had the land for about three years now i’ve bought it from a good friend of mine and I also want to buy more from him. I have all my paper stating that Land is mine. I can only hold the 60 year lease but what I was told I can sell it or I can also re-register 60 years after that if I have a family member, they can re-registered the Land but right now I’m kinda interested in building the prices I’ve got is very outrageous, but I would like to build a small house for myself and a shelter house. I have 100 shelter babies I care for but the house I’m building for them. I wanted to always be a shelter house for other children at a homelessso I’m just trying to find someone that can give me a good price to build this house for my shelter babies and the small school and my small little house for myself. I already have my own land.
I don’t understand how they under value the ghanian currency and promote and value dollar. They simply ignore the citizens whom the lands belong too. N focus on selling their lands to foreigners to take it over. This is like slavery.
WICKED, 60 years!! Again we own nothing 😢but Father YHWH, has free land for us, It’s quite insulting to say the least to make us pay for our own land which we were forcibly ousted OUT (slavery). Ok now 25,000 most of the diasporas are 9-5 workers and getting hold to hard earned savings before retirement age can be taxing, be careful people I know we all are anxious, but be anxious for nothing, let the big wigs play Russian roulette, remember we are on mortgages, rent, and leasing. These people are not working for you but themselves 😢, ok nicer note it’s beautiful with the flaws of money up front and legalities, 🎉
Most lands owned by Ghanaians are also lease hold that are automatically renewable. Other African countries that have freehold have lost vast lands to foreigners that have no blood link to the land.
No Diasporan in his or her right mind will be paying $25,000 for a 60 years lease land. That is insane 😳 I will never get lease Lands ever. Even for 90 years lease is still not OK.
@AfricanUSA-th9ov madam nobody will take your land after 60 years and also it's renewable, if that's the case all the buildings in accra belongs to the ga people so do you think they will take the land back in accra? It's just a formalitie
As an American my question is -What will be the cost to renew? Not knowing that would prevent a knowledgeable customer from “purchasing” or moving forward with any financial transaction.
This is sad! These TH-camrs need "content" so much for their channel that they will put anyone and say anything on their channel. How can you with good conscience promote a parcel of land costing usd $25,000 as AFFORDABLE in Ghana??? These TH-camrs are part of the problem!
Thank you for the wonderful treat Vanessa 😊always a pleasure and looking forward to your next video. ❤ 🥂 Cute dress 👗 always a Top Notch representation of a True Lady . Keep the hope alive 🤣🤣🤣
@@yo-a No, there is nothing that's being developed about that country. I just came back in May 2024 and the problems that existed in the 90s are still plaguing the people. So spare me with the propaganda, nobody should waste $25k buying a plot of land in Africa.

I wonder if the locals around the area are aware of these prices.
These diasporans do not know how difficult it is to raise such amount in Ghana!

It’s time I start buyin land in Kenya cuz Ghana is a very confused country
😂😂
@@eazzydizzy1187 this is actually not a very good time politically for Kenya. But of course, let your heart guide you ♥️
That’s a lot for one plot
Same thing I was thinking! I would never pay that for land!
Yes. Overpriced for only 60 years. For that price should not be a lease

Wait! 25k $ for a plot!!!!!!!!! As a uk citzen even i cant afford this... .
Every country has a class system. We have those at the top middle and bottom Which one do you belong to in the uk
Don't buy it! Lands are way cheaper in Ghana! Fuc**** Robbery 😡
@gibson2675 every class in the west is in debt to a degree. How long can one live withought working. The true measure of wealth.
@gibson2675 people on the top in UK is still nonsense Overpriced

Nice. Where are the trees? Can you use the land for farming?

Leasehold plots and properties are not unique to Ghana.
Hahahahhaha you mad 25k ya people tripping.!
Wait the land is leased and not really yours??? Pass
$25k is a fair price for a land in Ghana that comes with fence, electricity and roads
Absolutly
Madness
if i already have land do they have people that will build for a good price for me
I’m not sure feel free to reach out the details in the description. Thanks

Stop beeing negative nobody will take your land after 60 years
They are literally robbing the people in Ghana!! Smdh!!
Exactly this land is not worth $25 thousand dollars per plot for a 50 year lease once farm land
Ghana is a scamming country
Lease land is a scam
My views are even better than that I paid £1500 each plot
For sale? Shouldn't that be for lease?
Is it land for LEASE or land for SALE?
$25k for a plot…wow

This is not all of Ghana. There is land available to own. You have to do your research and put in the work.
Most lands owned by Ghanaians are also lease hold that are automatically renewable. Other African countries that have freehold have lost vast lands to foreigners that have no blood link to the land.
thank vou for your video and your telephone today
Overpriced!
🎉
what is a 1/2 bedroom?!? 3.5 bedrooms?!?
1/2 bathroom means no shower/tub. 3.5 bedroom usually means a bedroom with no closet or too small by coding standards to be considered a bedroom.
Hello Vanessa, I'm interested. How can I proceed?
I’m not even gonna watch this video. $25000 for land?? I’m sorry but the Diasporans are being ripped off. The average Ghanaian can never afford this!
Every land is not for the average just like every house is not for the average their's plenty land for cheap don't knock the men's hustle

The video was not clear. Are we talking about $25,000 per plot???
Yes
I paid GHS 48,000 for a plot in Accra Prampram!! 70x100 title land!
I would never buy any land from anyone in Ghana for $25000
But Prampram is not Pokuase…
Still not paying $25000 for no dam land! Unless me crazy 😂🇯🇲
