Conduct A Survey Before Buying Land in Ghana 

Glad you've found the video helpful. Kindly do share our channel with your friends and family to help more people.

Spot on, hit the nail on the head.

The land owner will usually measure up the land (70ft x 100ft in most cases) before proceeding to plot the land. The purpose of the survey is to establish if the parcel of land being offer to the buyer truly belongs to the seller and the plot size is accurate to the ground.

Much appreciated kk. Glad you found the information useful.

He's a terrible Surveyor...very poor communication and your moneywill be at risk, you will regret it. Taking from my personal experience working with him

Glad you found the information helpful

Hi Frank, This particular video has a lot of information to offer anyone considering land purchase. I have sent you the phone number for Michael via Whatsapp. Glad to be of help

Valuation depends on your instrument (indenture). There is lease, sublease, assignment, gift etc and they all have different ways of calculating values. Market value is also consided

Check your math

@@albertakuamoah3227 1 plot = 1500 cedis. 1 acre = 4 plots. 2 acres = 8 plots. 8 x 1500= 12,000 cedis

It is advisable to conduct an official search to know whether there's any recorded transaction by the land owners at the land commission and if the information given to you match the search result. Mind you if the land owner didn't go to the lands commission, there will be no recorded transaction. Of you start registration without knowing recorded transaction at the lands commission, there can be multiple request for registration which will be a problem

The time frame may vary depending on the surveyor handling the process but it can take up to 6 weeks in some cases.

I do not understand why the seller will not permit you to have your own surveyor pick the coordinates in their presence especially when you are footing the bill of the surveyor. The key point is to ensure the land you are being sold is at the exact position and not fall at another location. You can Call / Whatsapp +233 552499123 for further assistance.

My sister pls look for a different place and a chief who is willing to accept your own Surveyor and always do your search first be4 buying ooo due to my own experience..

@@raggaarcher3751 Just curious,have you had any bad experience in land purchase if so, could you please tell us?

@@benbo7042 Yes and very bad one.

@@raggaarcher3751 I am very sorry to hear that you went through this problem. Such news, makes people afraid to purchase land.

The District Assembly does not have surveyors but they can recommend one for you.

Having barcode site plan doesn't mean your land is registered. Their can be multiple barcode site plans on same land. It's a requirement or first step to begin process of registration. If you want to transact with that land in future (sell/buy), one will need anew barcode on same land.

@@Tobias_the_surveyor I thought bar-coding plots was similar to giving them unique identification so that one plot could possibly not have two codes? This is the main reason why it was introduced to reduce the incidence of multiple people processing the same land. Actually I took a bar-coded papers to the Land Commission and one of the officers who was insisting I let him take surveyors to my land said it was properly documented because it has a bar-code, not registered. I understand the registration process is a different ball game especially in Accra

I believe your question was addressed in the video. You carry out the survey initially to confirm you are being sold the exact plot of land you intend to purchase. Next you carry out a search with your site plan to establish the true owner of the land before parting away with any money.

Having an indenture does not guarantee complete ownership of the land. A lot of land owners make this mistake by not proceeding to register their indenture for land title certificate. Nothing stop someone with bad motives from plotting your land and registering it without your knowledge. Best to be safe than sorry.
