What is the process of transferring land ownership in Ghana?

The process of transferring land ownership in Ghana involves several steps and requirements. Gold Coast Realties And Construction Ltd can assist you throughout the transfer process, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant transaction. Here is an overview of the typical steps involved:

1. Agreement and Negotiation: 

The transfer process begins with the buyer and seller reaching an agreement on the terms and conditions of the land sale. This includes the purchase price, payment terms, and any other relevant details.

2. Due Diligence and Verification: 

Gold Coast Realties And Construction Ltd conducts thorough due diligence to verify the ownership and status of the land. This involves examining the land documents, such as the Land Title Certificate or Indenture, and conducting searches at the Land Registry or Land Commission to ensure that the land is free from disputes or encumbrances.

3. Preparation of Transfer Documents: 

Our team will assist in preparing the necessary transfer documents, including the Transfer Deed or Assignment, to legally transfer ownership from the seller to the buyer. These documents outline the details of the transaction and are executed by both parties.

4. Consent and Approval: 

Depending on the type of land and the parties involved, certain consents or approvals may be required. For example, consent from the relevant stool or skin in the case of customary lands or approval from the Lands Commission in certain instances. Gold Coast Realties And Construction Ltd will guide you through the process to ensure compliance with all necessary consents and approvals.

5. Stamp Duty and Registration: 

The Transfer Deed or Assignment must be stamped at the Ghana Revenue Authority to fulfill the requirements of the Stamp Duty Act. After stamping, the transfer documents are registered at the Land Registry or Land Commission to legally record the change in ownership.

6. Post-Registration:

Once the transfer is completed and registered, Gold Coast Realties And Construction Ltd will assist in obtaining the updated Land Title Certificate reflecting the new ownership details.

Throughout the transfer process, our experienced team will provide guidance, handle the necessary paperwork, and ensure compliance with all legal requirements. We prioritize transparency, due diligence, and adherence to the laws and regulations governing land transactions in Ghana.
