Make informed investment decisions - Real estate industry players advised

THE Dean of Law and Business Faculty at Laweh University College, Kaaka Dello-Ziem, has said the contribution of real estate, the like any other industry, is critical to guarantee the economic success of the country.

He said affordable housing remained a significant concern in Ghana and must be fixed to reduce housing deficit, which is in excess of 1.2 million.

He said while many were eager to own their own homes, the high cost of building, land guards, timeliness and population growth, people desirous of becoming home owners among other things, had forced people to abandon their aspirations.

“It is crucial for investors, policymakers, developers, sales representatives and the general public to understand the real estate industry and how it operates to make informed decisions regarding any investment, sale or purchase,” he said.
