Accra, Dec. 1, GNA – The maiden edition of the Ghana-Diaspora Home Purchase Expo 2024 is to take place on 12 and 13 December 2024 at the British Council in Accra.
The exhibition aims to bring together top-tier stakeholders in the real estate and housing sectors under one umbrella.
Real estate developers, financial institutions, insurance companies, and other key players in the industry have already signed up, indicating their readiness to participate in the much-anticipated event.
Nilex Properties is leading the charge to position Ghana as a prime destination for property investment.
Launched in September 2024 in Accra, the event had gained momentum, attracting major industry players and setting the stage for greater collaboration to further elevate Ghana’s real estate sector.
Mr Nilesh More, the Managing Director of Nilex Properties, urged industry players to prioritise locally made building materials over imports.
“Using local materials will help reduce the cost of properties, making them more affordable for the average Ghanaian,” he said.
He emphasised that supporting local production would not only lower housing costs but also stimulate the local economy, generating thousands of jobs for Ghanaian youth and addressing unemployment challenges.
Mr More encouraged Ghanaians at home and abroad to collaborate in boosting the local industry, stating that such efforts would create sustainable economic opportunities for the nation.
The Ghana-Diaspora Home Purchase Expo 2024 is poised to become a significant event in Ghana’s real estate calendar, fostering connections and driving growth in the sector.
Mr Alex Osei-Owusu, Lead Organiser for the Expo, described the event as an exceptional opportunity for members of the diaspora to connect with industry professionals.
“This Expo provides a unique platform for individuals interested in real estate to engage with developers and mortgage providers offering tailored packages to suit their needs,” he said.
He reassured attendees that they would have access to flexible mortgage options from leading banks, making property ownership more attainable.
The Expo will also feature expert lawyers to guide participants on the legal aspects of property investment. From understanding land tenure systems to avoiding fraud, attendees will receive comprehensive advice to make informed decisions.
