When you buy land, you hear a lot of big words like “allocation letter” and “deed of assignment.” But what do they really mean? And why are they important?
📄 What Is an Estate Allocation Letter?
An estate allocation letter is a document you get from the real estate company after you pay for your land. It tells you exactly where your land is located within the estate.
Think of it like when you buy a seat at a concert, and they give you a ticket that says:
Row B, Seat 4
That’s how an allocation letter works—it shows your own spot in the estate.
🟢 What it includes:
-
Your name
- Address
-
Your plot number
-
The estate name
-
The street name
- Allocation number
- square metres of your plot
🟢 Why it’s important:
-
It confirms the land is yours
-
Helps you avoid land disputes
-
Allows you to start building
🖊️ What Is a Deed of Assignment?
A deed of assignment is a legal document that transfers ownership of land from the seller (or estate company) to the buyer (you). It shows that the land now legally belongs to you.
It’s like a receipt—but more official—saying:
“You now own this land. It’s no longer ours.”
🟢 What it includes:
-
Names of buyer and seller
-
Description of the land
-
The price paid
-
Date of transfer
-
Both parties’ signatures
🟢 Why it’s important:
-
It protects your legal rights
-
You need it to register your land
-
It’s used when reselling or using land for loans
🆚 What’s the Difference?
| 🔹 | Allocation Letter | Deed of Assignment |
|---|---|---|
| 🎯 Purpose | Shows your plot location | Transfers legal ownership |
| 📍 When you get it | After land is allocated | After full payment and documentation |
| 📂 Who gives it | The estate developer or company | The estate company or land seller |
| 🛠️ Use | For site allocation and building | For land registration and resale |
🧠 Simple Example
Let’s say you bought land at Bliss Island Estate from Conic Homes and Properties Ltd.
✅ First, you’ll get an Allocation Letter — It shows where your land is located.
✅ Then, you’ll get a Deed of Assignment — It proves the land now legally belongs to you.
You need both to be safe and secure as a landowner!
✅ Food For Thought
Don’t be confused by big names.
Allocation Letters show where your land is.
Deeds of Assignment show you own the land.
Smart landowners collect both. And trusted companies like Conic Homes and Properties Ltd will make sure you get them—clearly and legally.
