Create a property with a purpose.
A hotel, rental property, warehouse or site for a school should be planned around its users and operating needs. We help research locations, arrange visits and bring the appropriate local professionals into the assessment of the actual property and proposed agreement.
Connect the property to a business case.
The World Bank’s land-administration work documents the importance of clear land records and the different tenure contexts in Sierra Leone. That makes a site-specific professional review essential.
Hospitality and visitor accommodation
Define the guest profile, location and service concept. We arrange property and operator meetings so access, staffing, utilities and competition can be considered before an acquisition or development decision.
Housing and commercial property
Research the intended tenant or purchaser and the proposed management arrangements. We help investigate local conditions and coordinate professional enquiries into the property and development concept.
Premises for essential services
A clinic, school, workshop or distribution centre has particular access and operating requirements. Site research should include those needs and the sector-specific advice your activity requires.
Review rights, condition and intended use together.
A site photograph or signed offer does not answer every part of the property decision.
Rights and authority
Qualified local counsel should assess the documents, parties, interests and proposed agreement. We coordinate enquiries without giving a general promise about ownership rights or the suitability of a particular tenure arrangement.
Boundaries and planning
Arrange appropriate survey, engineering and planning input. Check the questions around access, permitted use, drainage, utilities and construction feasibility for the specific location.
Delivery and operations
Consider contractor capability, materials, project management and the ongoing cost of running the property. Your advisers can use local findings to test the budget and assumptions.
Shape the assignment around your project stage.
We support both early location research and the review of a property already introduced to you.
A new development concept
Tell us the intended use, scale and preferred area. We can help create selection criteria and organise relevant visits and professional conversations.
A proposed purchase or lease
Share a non-confidential description of the property and counterparty. We help scope the document, site and specialist work needed before a commitment.
A local owner seeking a partner
Describe the site, current use and proposed development. A readiness discussion can identify the information needed for meaningful commercial and professional review.
Put local knowledge behind your next move.
Start with the question that matters to your business. We agree the scope, relevant specialists and next steps with you.
Request market intelligence
Understand the market, potential demand and practical entry routes.

Your questions, answered.
A starting point for a more informed conversation.
Can an overseas investor buy or lease land in Sierra Leone?
This requires advice on the actual property, investor status, tenure and proposed structure. We coordinate introductions to qualified local counsel to examine current requirements and the documents for the site.
Can you help a diaspora investor inspect a property remotely?
We can agree a scope for local visits, observations and professional coordination. Any report should identify who inspected, what was seen, the evidence available and the questions requiring further legal or technical work.
Tell us what you want to build.
Share your target market, sector and plans. We can help you define the research, introductions and local support to move forward.
