When businesses expand into new markets, the success of their operations depends not just on strategy but also on the ability of their employees to transition smoothly. Ghana has become an attractive destination for companies expanding into West Africa, yet relocating employees here comes with unique challenges that go far beyond the standard logistics of moving.
For Relocation Management Companies (RMCs) and corporate mobility teams, ensuring a successful transfer means addressing critical issues, such as housing quality, safety, and unpredictable urban development. A Destination Service Provider (DSP) is not just a convenience—it is a necessity for minimizing risk and ensuring a positive relocation experience.
Finding the right home in Ghana is more complex than it seems, especially given the current housing deficit faced by the country. The challenge is not just about acquisition but also navigating the regulatory landscape that governs construction and land tenure. With a growing population and increasing demand for housing units, the cost of homeownership has risen significantly, making it crucial for potential buyers to have an insight into the price range of available properties. Innovative housing projects aimed at reducing this burden often involve commercial initiatives that seek to provide sustainable solutions.
With high demand and limited supply, competition is fierce. The best properties are often secured before they even hit the market, making it difficult for newcomers to find a suitable home without strong local connections. As a result of this, you will need to partner with a reputable real estate agency like Akka Kappa. We have the experience and integrity to deliver and find assignees the right home even in the midst of these challenges.
Moreover, the process of finding a home is multifaceted, requiring careful consideration of transportation links, available material, and community resources. For many, rental housing may appear to be a more feasible option, yet it presents its own set of challenges, including fluctuating rental prices and agreements. As efforts continue to address the housing crisis, it is essential for Ghanaian households to leverage available savings and participate in initiatives that contribute to a more equitable housing landscape.
Ghana’s housing market has shifted significantly in recent years. Standalone houses, once the preferred option for expatriates, are becoming increasingly scarce. Many of the remaining options are either outdated, overpriced, or located in areas lacking essential infrastructure.
While new residential projects offer modern finishes and added amenities, they introduce new challenges. Units in these developments tend to be much smaller than older properties. Though they feature shared facilities like pools, gyms, and co-working spaces, they also come with a trade-off: hundreds of units in a single complex, leading to concerns around privacy in a high-density living environment.
For families or expatriates accustomed to larger spaces, the shift toward compact living can be an adjustment. Gated communities with townhomes and apartments remain an alternative, but as developers maximize land use, layouts are getting tighter, with reduced outdoor space and limited parking.
Partnering with an experienced DSP like Akka Kappa means having access to a carefully curated portfolio of certified properties, ensuring assignees aren’t left searching endlessly or settling for less. Our team provides clear, practical advice on where to live, considering commute times, neighborhood convenience, and lifestyle preferences.We handle all housing aspects—from landlord negotiations and contract preparation to property inspections and move-in coordination.
Beyond securing the right home, we make settling in as smooth as possible, offering support with utilities, banking, and day-to-day essentials, so assignees can focus on their new role without unnecessary distractions.
