Land Title Verification & Due Diligence in Ashaiman
Land in and around Ashaiman can be heavily subdivided, making the relationship between the seller's documents, the site plan and the actual parcel especially important. A plot that looks straightforward on paper can still require careful boundary confirmation.
What to consider when buying land in Ashaiman
The practical issue in Ashaiman is often parcel identity: exactly which piece of land is being sold, and does it match the documents? Our review therefore gives particular attention to subdivision history, the site plan and the physical position of the boundaries.
What we check in Ashaiman
For a Ashaiman property, our checks should answer three practical questions: who has the right to deal with the land, whether the transaction is supported by the relevant records and consents, and whether the land described in the documents is the same land being offered to you.
- Confirm the current land record and search for registered interests affecting the Ashaiman parcel.
- Check how far back the ownership or allocation history needs to go to confirm how the current seller obtained their interest in the land.
- Identify the consent required under the particular tenure arrangement — family, stool, skin or otherwise — and confirm it is in place.
- Verify that the site plan and documentary description correspond to the parcel on the ground, using a licensed surveyor for any physical boundary check that's required.
