Mortgage basics, answered plainly.
Who qualifies for a mortgage in Ghana?
Most banks ask for a stable income (12+ months of payslips or audited accounts if self-employed), a valid Ghana Card, a TIN, and a deposit of 20–30% of the property value. Expats and diaspora applicants usually need a Ghanaian co-signer or proof of ongoing Ghana-based income — this varies by bank.
What interest rates should I expect?
GHS-denominated mortgages typically sit in the low-to-mid 20s (22–28% annual). USD-denominated mortgages for diaspora buyers sit around 9–12%. Rates move with policy decisions, so always ask each bank for a current quote before committing.
How much deposit do I need?
Plan for 20–30% of the purchase price. Some banks will stretch to 15% for salaried applicants with strong credit histories or employer guarantee schemes. Off-plan purchases often need a larger initial deposit because the bank releases funds in tranches.
What documents will the bank ask for?
Expect: Ghana Card, TIN, last 6 months of bank statements, 3 months of payslips (or 2 years of audited accounts if self-employed), an employer letter confirming tenure and salary, and the draft sale agreement plus title docs for the property. Diaspora applicants add proof of overseas income and residence status.
How long does the process take?
From application to keys is usually 60–120 days. Indicative decisions come back within 5–15 business days. Formal valuation, title checks, and legal sign-off are the parts that stretch the timeline — budget accordingly.
Can I get a mortgage from abroad?
Yes. Several of our partner banks offer diaspora mortgages in USD, with in-country co-signer or guarantor arrangements. Interest rates are lower than GHS mortgages but documentation is heavier. See our diaspora guide for the step-by-step.
What does 'indicative rate' actually mean?
An indicative rate is a range the bank is likely to quote based on current policy and your loan profile. It is not a firm offer. Every formal application is priced individually after credit assessment, valuation, and internal approvals. Habivista never quotes firm rates on the bank's behalf.
Is Habivista a mortgage broker?
No. We are an introducer, not a broker. We don't charge you, we don't take applications on any bank's behalf, and we never earn a commission off the rate you're offered. Your formal application is always with the bank directly, off-platform.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to a Habi advisor.
A quick call, a short chat — no pitch. We'll tell you which bank is likely to say yes, what documents to line up, and whether off-plan is worth the wait.
