A good public outreach program likes this will help keep the public well informed. Ghanaians and the diasporans will both benefit from this vital information.That’s how you keep the trust of the general public.
As a Ghanaian, kindly avoid purchasing family and stool land instead, focus on government land. The system in Ghana lack transparency with respect to land purchasing.
I haven't listened to everything yet. But I want to know: how would we as a foreigner know we are dealing with the right chief? The land in question hasn't been promised or paid on by others? How are they able to prove they have the permission (read: right/authority) to make the land agreement/deal? What if the chief takes ill, does this process start over?
There would be less confusion if Ghana does one of two things. Either let people know that there is no such thing as freehold title available to foreigners or non citizens, with the confirmation that what is available to them are long term leaseholds, up to 50 year tenures. Or amend the constitution and 2020 restatement of the Land act to affirm that freehold can be held by or conveyed to foreigners and non citizens…
Laws should be in place for those who submit frivolous claims against a property. I think blockchain technology will focus on all transactions that will allow for transparency.
Another good Point is to have An Already Registered Piece of Land in a Residential area ?? With All the Already Approved and Registered Indentured / Land Title In the Name of the Owner. After the Serches Proven to be Genuine. ?? Comes Negotiating of the Price. ?? Part Payments with Receipts and Production of New Indenture in Your Name as the New Owner. ?? Then Title Deeds Transfer Documentations : Signing and Approval In the 14:34 Courts.
The question is, are there conveyancers who are registered with the government in Ghana? Also, a person from another country would find the terms exhausting going through all this.
IMHO, the Ghanaian government should implement an administration portal with the relevant details of all available land for leasing and purchasing. This improvement would help the prospect to do due diligence with ease and avoid lots of hassles such as court cases. Initiate a database team to centralize all the relevant data. And elaborate further on this foundation.
The seller will take commitment fees before you are given an indenture. How to you get back your commitment fees as well that of the surveyor 's fee if you realise the seller is not the true owner of the said land? We need a better way of checking for land ownership in this country!
Nothing was mentioned about why lands commission takes years to register land , plus nothing was mentioned about what to do if your land has been re sold
From indenture, you will need to go to the court and have the indenture signed, then to lands department for search to that the isn't for someone else, etc.
@@VictoriaPeters-sp9pg that’s a backward process , paying for an indenture then sending to court then do a search to see if it’s the rightful owner is backward
@@slaveman2818 Yes, I have done it before, I did it for daughter who is in the USA, is very tiring. I have done this land papers for three people and is only one that went through. Even the one which went through, when I went to build a wall on the land, a man called the police that the land is his and I was stopped in 2021, we got all the paperwork and thi yellow card.
@@swiffmatic very easy , they go to a chief and give him a small amount of money for so farm land for farming but then would take the land surveyor a different location the chief wouldn’t be aware of and by then he already signed the indenture then the scammer will go to get the land registered in is name , then he will sell to who ever wants it , the search will show his name on the land which will give you confidence it’s genuine, this scam can only work if the land wasn’t sold to anyone else before . luckily the scammer had one acre of land which had accidentally got registered in someone else name who lives in the USA , I contacted them who turned out to be a military man from ghana 🇬🇭 who agreed he would transfer 3 plots directly to me
Don't fall for land scam in ghana, those people are very pretentious,they pretend they like you ,but they are always looking for an opportunity to steal from you, they also do it among themselves
Please can you change your channel name to VISIT GHANA.the best name to conquer🎉🎉 my little advice for you my dear sister.please keep on doing good work big sister 👏👏👏👍
They will take it back and fight you for it. They win. You lose. They have no respect for the Diaspora in Ghana. Don’t buy land if you have to rent it.
Africa is too complicated, it offers only more pain and suffering to many Black Americans, too many African Countries are not stable or safe, I wish some of the countries were in better shape but that's the real world and African is no panacea for dependents of Slavery.

In nutshell, to avoid land acquisition issues in Ghana work hand in hand with the Land Commission of Ghana
Exactly
As a Ghanaian, kindly avoid purchasing family and stool land instead, focus on government land. The system in Ghana lack transparency with respect to land purchasing.
Well done. Much needed. Thank you Ms. Prosper.

You go to land commission in ghana to verify whose name is the land registered in?
This is very informative , I learn a lot.
Great

How much is the commitment fee? The percentage wise

Exactly, It took almost two years to acquire my indenture.
@@Oggenx and having your indenture is for from getting your land registered

The Diaspora would invest if the land can be secured but it is unlikely.
Hi, how can I contact you...
I done all that to find out the land I bought didn’t belong to the person who sold it to me although it was registered in his name ,
Wow! So how did it go? What was the final outcome? How did they register it in their name legally?

You mean rent land since freehold is no longer allowed
It’s usually 99 years for Ghanaians. And 50 years for foreign nationals
@@megadonmasterit is still a long term lease and not a sale.
No more of a sale than an Airbnb..
@@megadonmaster but they are know giving 70 years to Ghanaians , this whole lease thing is a scam

Visit Ghana s3 s3n?😅 please don't mind him wai, leave it
Thanks for the tip
The land is rented land.
It takes too long to purchase. The process makes little or no sense.
Too many land schemes in Ghana.
They will take it back and fight you for it. They win. You lose. They have no respect for the Diaspora in Ghana. Don’t buy land if you have to rent it.
The gov and the people are mostly scammers
Africa is too complicated, it offers only more pain and suffering to many Black Americans, too many African Countries are not stable or safe, I wish some of the countries were in better shape but that's the real world and African is no panacea for dependents of Slavery.
Then stay where you are. It is clear that it is not the place for you.
It is not this difficult in Kenya! You own the land forever after purchasing it. The process is simply easy and permanent.
Ghana is a small country in Africa , if the system is backward in Ghana,it doesn't represent other African countries
I would never invest in land there. It is tricky. They don’t treat white people the same as they treat their own from the Diaspora.
