  • Building a house in Ghana is definitely not easy. In this video i speak to Philip & Leila about their experiances of building a house in Ghana and also building apartments in Ghana. They have started a real estate buisness called Pam V Estates in which they have build 2x apartment blocks and 1x townhouse to rent out. We find out the challenges they face from Buying land in ghana to permits to working with the laborers to racism and sexism in Ghana. I also show you around a 2 bedroom apartment within Pam V estates which is just beautiful! We also discuss moving back from the diaspora to start a new life and business in Accra.

      @willie mason I am planning to move to Africa, so saying it is nice to see windows without bars is not a insult to Africa. It is good to know that I can build my home there without the bars. I wasn't even thinking about the bars as a means of burgular prevention. I don't like bars because I know of several folks that lost their lives in fires because they were trapped behind those bars. Just an aside, not every home in America has a alarm.

    Good job guys, nice apartment, my concern is with the roof style, I've seen such houses in Ghana looking water-soaked at the top because with time they develop complications coping with rains, and the paints start to peel off. I'd be glad to know what technology was used in this instance. If you've noticed, a lot of houses go for the safer option of an all-out sloping roof style since it has very minimal complications.

    @VanessaKanbi I loved this information it was very inspirational for those of us with the same desires of repatriating and build in Ghana. However, lets be clear...you may have experienced some prejudice in Ghana but NOT RACISM. Please learn the difference... Africans can be prejudice against one another because of the tribal nature of our people but never RACIST that word is reserved for white ppl only sorry. No African will ever murder, rape, or enslave you for the color of your skin...if anything you might get more white privileges being fair skinned.

      Exactly. It has to stay in African hands, not mixed peoples hands, chinese, white etc. If the money doesn't stay in your circle it's not yours. You can't do that shit in China; they make sure property goes to their people first before anyone else. And if you want full rights, you have to have children with Chinese blood.

      La Féte , I say if you can afford to buy, then please do so because there are so many advantages to that.
      For starters, it's a stress free way of owning a home.You also instantly become a member of a community of like- minded people.
      You have roads, streetlights, water reservoir and other vital amenities already taken care of and tend to suffer far less from electricity outages.
      The other thing also is you get your home built in a much shorter time.
      Some people might argue that when you buy from developers, you don't get much say in the design . I will disagree with that because depending on who you buy from , you can make changes to suit you.
