Remote buyers should separate payment authority, inspection authority, and document custody so one person cannot control the whole purchase.
Source: Habivista Ghana property guides
Confirm transaction structure with local counsel.
Taxes and transaction costs
Budget for professional fees, due diligence, registration steps, taxes, and exchange-rate movement before treating the asking price as total cost.
