• Sherryl said she needed to complete the apartment in one month and move in since her new workplace was closer
• She has an agreement with her landlord to live in the apartment until she depletes the total sum she used to finish the place

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.”

"Wonderful and I hope this gives you the confidence to start your own build especially if you have access to land outside Greater Accra. You have built value and equity for somebody else and whilst you will enjoy the house for a while it still belongs to somebody else. You will absolutely be able to do this for yourself soon."

"Super proud of you Sherryl . You’re so strong."
