As part of the 2022 World Habitat Day Celebration, Cities and Habitats, developers of the Planned Cities Extension Project and Ecobank Ghana PLC have partnered to launch a new home ownership package called the “Rent to Own Boafo)’.
The Rent to Own Home Ownership Package is a payment method that will ease the financial burden of home seekers by affording them early occupancy of the property within 18 months, once the initial deposit is paid.
According to the Project Manager, Daniel Aidoo, the project seeks to help home seekers to fast-track access to their homes with the help of Ecoank by raising the 20% required under the scheme before occupancy is given.
