Sherryl, a Ghanaian YouTuber has recounted how she put up a two-bedroom apartment in Accra for GH¢70,000.
The lady said it took her one month to complete the building and move into it.
In a YouTube video, Sherryl said she was looking for a new place to rent because her rent was almost due. She had a preferred vicinity she wanted to live in.
However, finding a place was becoming difficult. Sherryl said she found a place that was not completed and the landlord told her to pay her rent so he uses it to finish the building.
Sherryl said she gave her landlord GH¢70,000 through a rent funding agency but a month after he received the money she did not see any progress on the building.
After the landlord promised and failed several times on the completion date, Sherryl said she decided to build the place herself.
“At that point, my money was there and I didn’t know where I was going to get more money. I had some savings and I said I was going to build this house. I am going to live in it until every cent I have spent in building this house has been depleted. So I called the man and said I am going to finish this place and when I do I will let you know the update. That is why I didn’t spend GH¢100,000 or GH¢200,000 to build.”
“I spent about GH¢70,000 including the money I gave him earlier.”
Sherryl said some works still need to be done on the house but it is a space one can live in. Considering all the money she has spent, Sheryl hopes to live in the house for over three years.
