Buying land in Accra after the Land Act, 2020

NotifiedLaw Editorial · 5 Oct 2026 · 6 min read

Land disputes in the capital often start with a seller who has sold the same plot twice, or a buyer who never registered their interest.

The Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036) consolidates the law and repealed the Land Title Registration Act, 1986 (PNDCL 152), so older guidance that relies on PNDCL 152 should be read with care.

Before paying, search the title, confirm who holds the grant, and register promptly. This article is general information, not legal advice.
