Can you manage my property in Ghana from abroad?

Yes — representing diaspora owners is the core of what we do. A named specialist holds your brief on the ground in Ghana and Togo: we collect the rent, handle the tenant and maintenance, and report to you on a defined schedule with a statement and photos. You keep full control and visibility without an absent caretaker, a disappearing rent, or flying back to check. Since 1991.

How do I know the rent is safe and actually reaches me?

We collect the rent, account for every cedi transparently, deduct only the agreed fee and any approved costs, and remit your share with a periodic statement showing exactly what came in and what went out. The money is handled properly and reported — not pooled, not vague, not "trust me" — and we coordinate with qualified advisers to support repatriation in compliance with Ghanaian and Togolese frameworks.

I inherited a property in Ghana — can you manage it for me?

Yes. Estate-beneficiaries navigating inherited property are a profile we represent directly. We assess the property and any existing tenancy, establish a formal mandate, and take on rent, tenants, maintenance, and reporting on your behalf — coordinating with legal and notarial advisers in Ghana and Togo where the estate requires it.

Are property managers licensed in Ghana?

It is important to be accurate: the Real Estate Agency Act 2020 (Act 1047) licenses real-estate agents and brokers for buying, selling, and letting — property management itself is not a separately licensed activity in Ghana, so any firm claiming to be a "licensed property manager" is overstating it. What matters is a real track record since 1991, transparent money handling, and a written mandate you can hold us to. We work to the Rent Act 1963 (Act 220) and tell you honestly where the law and common market practice differ.

Diaspora Investor Representation

Dedicated representation for diaspora-based property owners and investors — a trusted presence on the ground in Ghana and Togo, managing every aspect of their portfolio so they can hold and grow property from abroad with complete confidence.

If you own property in Accra or Lomé but live in London, New York, or Dubai, the risk is not the distance — it is the absence of a real presence on the ground. Africa Property Managers gives you a named specialist who holds your brief, collects the rent, handles the tenant and maintenance, and reports to you on a defined schedule with a statement and photos. Since 1991. Request a management proposal: +233 27 011 3728.

Managing Your Ghana Property from Abroad

For diaspora owners, the everyday job is identical to a resident landlord’s — the rent must be collected, the tenant handled, the property maintained — but you cannot do it from another time zone. We become your presence on the ground: one named contact, money handled transparently, and proof every visit, so the asset earns and is accounted for without an absent caretaker or a disappearing rent.

What is Diaspora Investor Representation?

Diaspora Investor Representation is a dedicated, relationship-managed service for property owners and investors based outside Ghana and Togo who require a trusted, permanently present professional to act on their behalf — locally, consistently, and with the full weight of institutional accountability. It goes far beyond a simple letting arrangement. It is the complete assumption of responsibility for your property interests: a named specialist who holds your brief, speaks in your voice, and acts with your authority across every engagement the portfolio demands.

Those who specify this service are typically high-net-worth individuals resident in Europe, North America, or elsewhere across the diaspora who hold property in Accra, Lomé, or secondary Ghanaian and Togolese markets, and who understand that distance, without proper representation, is a material risk. Whether you hold a single prestige residence or a portfolio of rental assets, the principle is identical — your property deserves a presence that is always there.

When to Specify This Service

This service is most precisely suited to diaspora investors who acquired property in Ghana or Togo as a long-term hold, an income-generating asset, or an eventual return residence, and who cannot realistically manage tenant relationships, compliance obligations, maintenance cycles, and financial reporting from abroad. It is equally relevant to estate-beneficiaries navigating inherited property and to investors scaling a portfolio across multiple locations without a local operating base.

The service is specified when the cost of mismanagement — delayed rental income, tenant disputes unaddressed, property condition deteriorating without oversight — is simply not acceptable. It is the service for owners who value their time, their asset, and their peace of mind in equal measure.

Methodology — The Africa Property Managers Specialist Approach

Portfolio Briefing and Mandate Formalisation — Each engagement begins with a structured briefing to understand the full picture: property locations, current occupancy status, income expectations, maintenance history, and the owner’s long-term objectives. A formal representation mandate is established, setting out exactly how the specialist team acts on your behalf.
On-Ground Assessment — A thorough physical inspection of each property is conducted, documenting condition, any maintenance requirements, and the quality of existing tenancy arrangements. This creates the baseline against which all subsequent management is measured.
Tenant Management and Rental Administration — Tenant vetting, lease formalisation, rent collection, and the management of all day-to-day tenant communication are handled entirely by the specialist team. Owners receive structured reporting on a defined schedule — never silence, never uncertainty.
Property Care Coordination — Preventive maintenance, urgent repair response, and service provider oversight are managed locally on the owner’s behalf. Every instruction is issued with the owner’s interest as the governing standard.
Financial Reporting and Repatriation Guidance — Clear, periodic financial statements detail income received, expenditure incurred, and net position. Where applicable, the team coordinates with qualified financial and legal advisers to support income repatriation in compliance with Ghanaian and Togolese regulatory frameworks.

Service Standards & Representation Principles

Dedicated named specialist for each portfolio — continuity of relationship, not a rotating contact
Formal written mandate establishing scope of authority and reporting obligations
Discreet, confidential handling of all ownership, occupancy, and financial information
Communication in the owner’s preferred channel and time-zone-adjusted schedule
All vendor and contractor engagements conducted under the owner’s best-interest standard
Coordination with legal, notarial, and tax advisers within Ghana and Togo as required

Outcomes for the Diaspora Investor

Owners who hold their property under dedicated representation gain something that remote management cannot otherwise deliver: certainty. Income flows on schedule, property condition is maintained to the standard the asset deserves, and compliance obligations do not accumulate unaddressed. The portfolio performs. The owner remains informed. The distance ceases to be a risk.

This is not a transactional arrangement — it is an ongoing, relationship-governed mandate that evolves as the portfolio and the owner’s objectives evolve, held to the same standard of discretion and rigour that has defined the practice since 1991.

Honest About the Law / Fees

Property management is not a separately licensed activity in Ghana. The Real Estate Agency Act 2020 (Act 1047) licenses agents and brokers for buying, selling, and letting — so we never claim a “licensed property manager” badge we cannot hold. GREDA is the developers’ body, not a manager’s licence. Our standing rests on a real record since 1991, transparent money handling, and a written mandate you can enforce.
We work to the Rent Act 1963 (Act 220). The law caps advance rent at six months, even though the market commonly asks for far more (around 1.9 years in practice) — we tell you honestly where the law and common practice differ.
Fees, stated plainly and never conflated. Full management is normally a percentage of rent collected, agreed up front — indicatively 8–12%. Letting-only (placing a tenant) is a separate one-off fee of about a month’s rent; a sale is a different commission again (typically 3–5%). In Togo, the management fee is capped at 8%. Three different things, never quoted as one.
