FAQs – renting and buying property in Accra
Ten common questions we hear from buyers, tenants and landlords considering Accra property.
Which neighbourhoods do you specialise in? +
SPHYNX focuses on prime and emerging-prime areas such as Cantonments, Airport Residential, Airport Hills, East Airport, East Legon, Ridge, Roman Ridge and Labone, with a strong emphasis on gated communities and well-managed estates.
How much deposit do I need to rent in Accra? +
Most landlords request a security deposit of one month’s rent, sometimes plus the first month in advance. Corporate leases and serviced apartments can differ. SPHYNX clarifies deposit terms and ensures they are documented in your tenancy agreement.
Can non-Ghanaians buy or rent property in Accra? +
Yes. Non-Ghanaians and returning Ghanaians can buy or rent property in Accra. Residential property is often held on leasehold terms (for example 50–99 years). SPHYNX can help you navigate due diligence, documentation and local expectations.
What agency commission should I expect? +
For most residential lets and sales, commission is typically paid by the landlord or seller. For bespoke searches or corporate leases, we agree a clear fee structure before we begin, so there are no surprises.
How do you verify property ownership and title? +
SPHYNX reviews ownership documents and basic title information and, where appropriate, coordinates with a qualified conveyancer to conduct searches at the Lands Commission. You receive a checklist of documents reviewed before you commit.
Are mortgages available in Ghana and how long does approval take? +
Local banks and some international lenders offer mortgages to residents and qualifying expatriates. Pre-approval can take 1–3 weeks; full approval depends on valuation and underwriting. We help coordinate access for valuers and ensure the right documents reach your lender.
How long does a property purchase in Accra typically take? +
A straightforward cash purchase can complete in 2–6 weeks after due diligence and contract signing. Mortgage purchases may take longer, depending on the lender and legal process. SPHYNX helps you track milestones from offer to handover.
What costs should I expect beyond rent or sale price? +
For tenants, expect utilities, internet and, in many estates, a monthly service charge. For buyers, budget for legal fees, stamp duty, valuation fees and any association or service charges. We can outline the likely cost headings at the start of your search.
How do viewings and offers work with SPHYNX? +
You share your budget, preferred locations and must-haves; we shortlist suitable homes and arrange viewings. When you are ready, we prepare and submit offers, help negotiate terms and guide you through agreements, payments and handover.
What documents do I need to rent or buy? +
For renting, you will usually need photo ID and proof of funds or employment (or a company letter for corporate lets). For buying, expect ID, proof of funds or mortgage in principle and your lawyer’s KYC information. Sellers and landlords provide ownership and property documents which we review before you commit.
