What Is a Serviced Plot And How Can You Purchase One in Accra?

One of the key mistakes people make when considering lands for sale is to assume that two plots of land in the same location should sell for the same price. The assumption is that since location is usually the biggest differentiator in land prices, two plots of land in the same community should sell for similar prices. 

However, this misconception can result in significant unplanned costs for a potential buyer who does not understand the difference between a serviced plot and an unserviced plot. In this post we will explain the difference between these two parcels of land and how to ensure you are making the right decision when deciding on two different pieces of land for sale in Accra.

A serviced plot refers to a piece of land that has been prepared for immediate development. This usually means the following key requirements have been met.

• Access to Utilities. Plots of land that already have access to electricity, water and sewage systems can save a potential buyer tens of thousands of Ghana cedis as well as the inconvenience of dealing with public utility agencies. 

• Proper Drainage. Serviced plots have been demarcated to allow proper drainage and to avoid flooding. The potential costs of purchasing unserviced plots could be catastrophic.

• Access Roads. The availability of roads that lead to and from your plot are essential to the value of a plot. Many people make the mistake of buying land at places without roads with the expectation that roads would eventually be constructed there. More often than not they are likely to be disappointed.

• Permits. Serviced plots have already been zoned by district assemblies for residential purposes. This means that one need not worry that their land would someday be taken over for the construction of roads or other public infrastructure.

Owning a litigation-free serviced plot can be an excellent first step towards building your dream home. Given that land in some of the most urbanized communities in Accra and Tema are in short supply, one should take advantage of fast-growing communities like Dawhenya that are only a 10-minute drive from Tema Community 25.
