Home / For Diaspora Buyers / Milan, Lombardy
Northern Italy areaBuying Land in Ghana from Milan, Lombardy
Milan and the wider Lombardy region are home to one of Italy's established Ghanaian communities. Based abroad, you lose the ability to walk the boundary yourself or ask around the neighbourhood — so we do both for you and send back documentation, not just our word for it.
The risk distance creates
Sellers and land guards specifically target buyers who can't easily check things themselves — distance is the whole business model behind a double sale or a fabricated family consent. None of the usual local defences (asking a neighbour, walking the plot yourself) are available to you from Lombardy, so an independent check has to stand in for them.
How we handle it without you flying home
- Share the property details and any paperwork you already have straight over WhatsApp; no international courier required
- The physical site visit is handled by our licensed surveyor, with photos, coordinates, and a written boundary comparison sent back to you
- You'll hear the findings on a call timed for Lombardy, rather than being expected to catch us during Ghana office hours
- Need someone in Ghana to sign for you? Our partner lawyer, instructed by you rather than the seller, drafts a proper power of attorney instead of leaving it to an informal family arrangement
- We never recommend sending the full purchase amount before due diligence and registration are complete
Time difference
Ghana runs 1–2 hours behind Central European Time (1 hour under CET in winter, 2 hours during CEST in summer) — Ghana doesn't observe daylight saving.
Recommended starting point
For buyers checking in from Lombardy, the Full Due Diligence package is usually the right starting point — it covers the legal review and the boundary survey in one go.
Frequently asked questions for buyers in Milan
What's the time difference between Lombardy and Ghana?
Ghana runs 1–2 hours behind Central European Time (1 hour under CET in winter, 2 hours during CEST in summer) — Ghana doesn't observe daylight saving.
Is a trip to Ghana required to buy land this way?
Not unless you want to — everything that has to happen physically in Ghana (the site visit, filing paperwork) is handled by us, so buyers based in Lombardy rarely need to travel.
How do I send you documents from Milan?
Just send them over WhatsApp — the property location, whatever paperwork you already hold, and an ID photo if we need to draft a power of attorney for you.
Is it possible for someone else to sign on my behalf in Ghana?
Yes. On your instruction, our partner lawyer drafts a formal power of attorney so someone can act on your behalf in Ghana — properly documented rather than an informal favour.
