Mortgages

Understanding Mortgages in Ghana

A mortgage is a structured financing solution that allows individuals and families to acquire residential property by spreading payment over an agreed period, rather than paying the full purchase price upfront. Mortgages are commonly used for home ownership, buy-to-let investments, and property development.

At Bill Cotey Realty, we guide clients through the mortgage process, ensuring they understand eligibility requirements, property conditions, documentation, and long-term financial commitments.
