If you're building or buying property in East Legon, Trasacco Valley, Airport Residential, or Cantonments from outside Ghana, you already understand something important: in these neighbourhoods, a borehole isn't a luxury add-on — it's an expected feature. Property listings in East Legon routinely list "Ghana Water & Borehole Water Available" as a standard selling point, because reliable water supply matters as much to buyers here as anywhere else in the world.

Homes in Trasacco Valley and East Legon regularly sell for $200,000 to over $1.8 million — a market that includes expatriates, diplomats, and international professionals. At this level, a borehole isn't something to leave to chance or a verbal arrangement — it needs the same standard of documentation and verification as the rest of the build.

Areas We Serve

East Legon

Including East Legon Hills and Adjiringanor — Ghana's most established premium residential corridor.

Trasacco Valley

Gated estate community off the Accra-Tema Motorway, home to diplomats and international professionals.

Airport Residential

Close to Kotoka International Airport — a long-standing expatriate and diplomatic residential area.

Cantonments

Established diplomatic quarter with some of Accra's oldest embassy residences.

Why This Region Needs Careful Siting

Accra sits on coastal sedimentary geology — generally shallower drilling than inland Ghana, but not uniform. Depth and yield can genuinely vary between adjoining plots depending on the local aquifer structure, which is exactly why a proper site assessment matters even in an established, well-understood residential corridor like East Legon.

What It Costs — In Terms You Can Plan Around

We quote in Ghanaian Cedi (GHS), since that's the currency your contractor and the WRC permit process operate in — but here's roughly what that means in the currencies most of our overseas clients think in:

ServiceGHS PriceApprox. USDApprox. GBP
Site AssessmentFrom GH₵1,000~$90~£70
Complete Borehole DrillingGH₵12,000–35,000~$1,050–$3,050~£820–£2,400
Solar Borehole SystemFrom GH₵25,000~$2,175~£1,715
Contractor OverseeingFrom GH₵2,000~$175~£135

USD/GBP figures are approximate and move with the exchange rate daily — we confirm the exact GHS price in writing before any work begins, and you can convert it yourself at the live rate when you're ready to pay.

Sending Money From Abroad — What to Know

International money transfers to Ghana aren't free, and the fees add up. The World Bank's most recent data puts the average cost of sending money to Sub-Saharan Africa at over 8% for smaller transfers — among the highest of any region globally. That's a real cost to plan for on top of your borehole budget, and it's one more reason to pay a licensed company directly by bank transfer, with a written invoice, rather than sending informal cash through an intermediary.

How We Work With Overseas Clients

  • Direct WhatsApp contact — no relative or local contact needs to be your only channel to us
  • Written, itemised quotes in GHS, sent to you directly by WhatsApp or email
  • Site assessment with photo evidence — GPS-marked drill point sent to you before drilling starts
  • Deposit to start, balance on completion — never full payment upfront
  • Progress photos during drilling, not filtered through a third party
  • WRC completion certificate, borehole log and water quality report sent directly to you

Already Have a Contractor on the Ground?

If you've engaged a local contractor or your architect is managing the build, our contractor overseeing service gives you an independent, professional check — verifying depth, casing and yield match what's being reported to you — without needing to replace anyone or restart the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you manage the whole project if I never visit the site?
Yes. Site assessment, drilling, and completion documentation can all be handled remotely, with photo and written proof sent directly to you at each stage.
Do you accept international bank transfers?
Yes — we invoice directly and accept bank transfer, which is more transparent and often cheaper than routing cash through a money transfer service and a local intermediary.
Is a borehole really necessary in East Legon if the area has piped water?
Many premium Accra properties list borehole water as a standard feature specifically because piped supply can be inconsistent. A borehole gives your property an independent, reliable backup — which is part of why it's treated as an expected feature in listings, not an optional extra.
How do I know the site assessment actually happened?
We send photos of the geologist on site and the GPS-marked drill point as part of your written report — not just a summary.
What if my architect or builder wants to handle everything?
That's fine — we can work directly with your architect or contractor, and you can still request independent overseeing for peace of mind.
