C of O, Deed of Assignment, survey plan: a buyer’s glossary
The title documents you’ll see on every property listing, what each one is for, and what its status tells you.
Every property listing on ANIPARTNA shows its title documents and the status of each one, so you know what’s confirmed and what isn’t before you commit. These are the documents you’ll meet most often.
1. Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
A government grant of the right to occupy and use the land for a stated term. It is one of the strongest documents of title a property can have.
2. Deed of Assignment and Deed of Attorney
A Deed of Assignment records the transfer of interest in a property from the seller to the buyer. A Deed of Attorney gives someone the power to act for the owner; it shows authority to act, not ownership.
3. Survey plan
A drawing of the land’s exact boundaries and location, prepared by a registered surveyor. It should match the land you visit and the map pin on the listing.
4. Governor’s consent and building approval
Governor’s consent confirms a transfer of land under the state’s authority. Building approval confirms that a structure was permitted.
5. Reading the status
Documents are uploaded by the seller and verified by our team. Each shows Verified, In review or Not provided.
If a document is “Not provided”, ask the seller why before you commit. Offers and questions go to the seller’s inbox from the listing.
On payment plans, documents are held in custody and released to you once the purchase is complete.
