As part of efforts to reduce the housing deficit in the country, Stanbic Bank in partnership with Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA) has launched a housing fair in Accra.<\/p>\n
The fair, to be held on December 6 and 7 at the Polo Court in Accra, is to provide mortgage services at flexible rates to prospective home owners and customers of the bank.<\/p>\n
The housing fair will also have auto dealers and consumer finance companies at the fair grounds to offer patrons a one-stop shop.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”YiKSzJzGpqh5XKzPUsPmoUBzDOHeVndh”]Head of Personal and Business Banking at Stanbic Bank, Nana Benneh said the decision for the partnership is borne out of increasing demand for homes primarily by the middle class and people of other income brackets in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sector is an area with potential growth. We are offering consumers the various options that allow them to finance their dream homes. This fair is not only about housing. It also gives the opportunity for consumers to have access to the requisite knowledge on all things housing,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
He revealed that Ghana\u2019s housing deficit is around 1.7 million units and the task of providing affordable housing over 10 years requires a minimum of 170,000 annually.<\/p>\n
Based on this backdrop, Nana Benneh said Stanbic Ghana is committed to help bridge the gap and provide decent accommodation to Ghanaians through the partnership with GREDA.<\/p>\n
For his part, Executive Secretary of GREDA, Samuel Amegayibor commended Stanbic bank for identifying the challenges of housing in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have had situations where we have fairs and participants lament the price restrictions, but Stanbic Bank is offering unlimited access. So it depends on your ability to pay,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Samuel Amegayibor urged the public to take advantage of the fair to fulfil their dreams of owning a home.<\/p>\n
