<h1><strong>Understanding Documentation Required When Buying Land in Ghana</strong></h1>
<h2>Essential Documents for Secure Ownership</h2>
<p>
Documentation forms the foundation of secure land ownership. Buyers must request and examine the <strong>site plan</strong>, which shows precise plot measurements and location.
</p>
<p>
An allocation letter confirms that a specific plot has been assigned to you within an estate layout.
</p>
<p>
The most important document is the <strong>indenture</strong>, which formally transfers interest in the land from seller to buyer.
</p>
<p>
Buyers should also confirm whether the land is freehold or leasehold. Many properties in Ghana are sold under leasehold arrangements.
</p>
<p>
Once documentation is complete, the indenture must be stamped and registered at the Lands Commission to secure full legal recognition.
