I’m Lorraine, a Ghanaian, living miles away from my “home” in the UK, but like many of you, I felt a strong urge to connect with our motherland, to own a piece of the golden land that we all hold dear.

This journey, to say the least, has been quite a rollercoaster. Initially, I dived in with a heart full of dreams but found myself stumbling through the labyrinthine paths of Ghana's business and real estate scene.

A few years ago I dove right into property after visiting a Ghana Lifestyle and property expo in London.

To cut a long story short, after diving in head first, I encountered numerous roadblocks, made some missteps, and frankly, got burnt more times and lost more money than I'd like to admit.
