Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, H.E. Mrs. Sabah Zita Benson, has underscored the vital role of the real estate sector in boosting Ghana’s economic growth and creating pathways for generational wealth among the diaspora.

Delivering the keynote address at the 2025 Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo on 15th November at the Pestana Chelsea Bridge Hotel in London, H.E. Benson praised the exhibition for serving as a bridge between Ghana’s booming property market and the global Ghanaian community.

She noted that real estate remains one of the most secure and impactful avenues for diaspora investment, emphasising that property ownership not only strengthens families but also contributes significantly to national development.

Now in its ninth edition, the Expo was organised by the Agyekum sisters through their company, Onpoint. 

Held under the theme “Resolving Obstacles in the Ghanaian Property Market,” the event focused on addressing bottlenecks within the sector while showcasing the diverse opportunities available for investors, developers and entrepreneurs.

The exhibition also provided a vibrant platform to celebrate Ghanaian culture and deepen engagement between the diaspora and key industry stakeholders.

A representative from the Ghana Free Zones Authority and a broad cross-section of the Ghanaian community in the UK were among the attendees.

This year’s headline sponsors included Gold Key Properties, Royal Kingdom Estates, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), and the Ghana High Commission, whose support helped highlight Ghana’s expanding real estate potential and the country’s investor-friendly climate.
