Nora was a resourceful hard-working young woman in her late 20’s.

She had planned on buying her first a salon car as soon as she could afford one.

Most of her friends had cars and that had influenced her to consider that choice.

To cut everything short Nora decided to buy 4 plots of the land since she could afford it.

One plot was being offered at 5000 Ghana cedis at that time of 2013. She did the necessary due diligence to research and verify the land title ownership and negotiated on the payment terms with the seller.
