Investment property: Sierra Leone
We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.
Sierra Leone is one of the least obvious markets for a foreign investor, and it deserves a straight answer. Foreigners cannot own land freehold - only long-term leases are available, and land law was for decades a mix of colonial statutes and customary rules; the 2022 reform started to bring order, but practice is still taking shape. There is effectively no organized investment property market with transparent pricing and reliable title registration, and most activity is concentrated in Freetown. There are no residency or citizenship by real estate programs, so this market only makes sense if you have a specific business interest in the country, not as a capital preservation tool.
We start by honestly assessing whether entering this market fits your goal at all. If it does, we source the property, run deep due diligence on land rights and the history of the plot - in Sierra Leone this is the single most critical step - manage the transaction with local counsel and help structure holding through a long-term lease or a local company. Immigration status is handled separately from the purchase, because real estate is not an immigration tool here. We do not promise returns: in opaque markets, disciplined due diligence matters more than optimism.
