In a bid to curb the ongoing concerns with land guards, fraud and double sales in the land and property sector in Ghana, the Land Act 2020 (Act 1036) now provides specifically for these matters as a deterrent for engaging in such conduct or behavior.

Land guards can be convicted and imprisoned for a 5 to 10 year term. Those who employ them are also subject to a 10 to 15 year prison term on conviction. As the term “land guard” is not used in the Act, any persons or groups who engage in that conduct, will be liable for the punishment that is provided.

Owners who are affected by such persons or conduct can also apply for a restraining order or an injunction even if the trespassers are unknown.

Also, a seller who withholds or falsifies information can be sued for damages by the buyer and could on conviction, also pay a fine or go to prison for 5 to 10 years or both.

Anyone convicted for breaking the law on the double sale of land including individuals with no title or authority for that transaction is subject to a fine or prison time of 7 to 15 years or both.

Over the years, the Government of Ghana has acquired lands for the delivery of public services. These lands include vested land which belonged to Stools and Families.

As these lands are held and managed by the Lands Commission, there is hardly any legal ambiguity as to ownership and control, making them some of the “safest” lands to buy in Ghana.

Watch our next recorded show from Monday 17th May with our guest Mr Stephen Mawuli Kweku of the Land Valuations Division (Land Commission) to discuss Government & Vested Lands.

The interest to acquire land in Ghana by non-citizens have peaked in recent times.

From 1969, non-citizens have been able to acquire land in Ghana on 50 year leases. This position has now been further clarified by the Land Act 2020 which provides a basis of the renewal of such leases and the implications of marriage or the formation of a company.

There are however practical challenges and considerations to take account of when considering the acquisition of land and property for all purposes.

Join us this Saturday 1st May at 7pm GMT/8pm BST/3pm EST to discuss the opportunities, challenges and considerations related to acquiring land and property in Ghana as a non-citizen.

As a result of revisions to our laws, freeholds can now only be sold primarily by individuals.

The Government also holds freehold land, but hardly ever sell freeholds. Since the law bans freehold sale of Stool and Family lands, there should be very few freeholds available for sale now.

If an individual offers you freehold land, the land should have been acquired prior to 1992 (for Stool Lands) and prior to 2021 (for Family Land). Where a non-citizen acquired the land before 1969, they only have a 50 year interest which was to expire in 2019.

If the non-citizen acquired their interest after 1969, they could not have acquired a freehold interest so in both scenarios, they cannot be selling a freehold interest.

These matters should be considered before buying freehold land. If the seller lack the capacity or right to sell, your purchase may be of no effect and you may not be able to register your interest.

Stool and family lands constitute the biggest chunk of land available for sale in Ghana now. This means any land you currently buy would most likely be either a Stool and or Family land.

These lands have specific rules as to what can be sold, how they can be sold and who has the right to sell them. It is therefore important to be well informed so as to prevent many of the pitfalls that these bring about when acquiring land in Ghana.

Join us this Saturday 17th April at 7pm GMT/8pm BST/3pm EST to discuss Stool and Family lands and other related details. We will also answer your questions and provide the required guidance on land and property in Ghana.
