“I paid Ghc1,300 for a site plan, that’s what they take lately, a lease goes for Ghc2,500 summing up to Ghc3,800 without Receipts. Under normal circumstances it shouldn’t exceed Ghc900 because grounds rent is the key thing and it’s charged for three years summing up to Ghc90, meaning Ghc30 per year.”

In 2019, a site plan for a single plot in Wa was Ghc600 whilst two was going for Ghc800.
