Preflight

Before you start a property contract review, you need to know two things: are the prescribed documents actually attached, and does the data line up across them. Curia Contract Review runs that check automatically, the moment the contract lands, and shows the result on a single screen so you know whether to start now or chase missing documents first.

The problem with starting review blind

Plenty of files arrive incomplete. A NSW contract turns up without the planning certificate. A Section 32 is missing the s151 OC certificate for a strata property. The vendor name on the title search doesn't quite match the front page. None of that is unusual, but each one means stopping mid-review, emailing the vendor's solicitor and resuming hours or days later with the context lost. The careful reading you'd ordinarily bring, a title reference that's slightly off, a planning certificate that's four months old, is exactly what slips when you pick the file back up.

How preflight works

Cross-checks the data that has to agree

Curia compares the values that should reconcile across the contract, the title search and the vendor's statement. Vendor name, title reference, land address. Where they don't match, preflight flags it before you've spent an hour on the file.

Confirms the prescribed documents are there

Curia checks the contract against everything the jurisdiction requires: front page, choices page, planning certificate, title search, plans, prescribed dealings, sewer diagrams, pool certificates, tenancy agreements, and more. Anything missing is surfaced so you know exactly what to ask for.

Triages the file at a glance

Each check returns pass or warning. Green where everything's in order and amber where something needs attention but may not block the review. The screen reads like a pre-review checklist you'd write yourself.

Tuned to Australian conveyancing

Australian property contracts don't share a single shape. For the NSW standard contract , preflight checks the front page, the dealings recorded against each title and the planning certificate per title or per parent lot for unregistered files. For Victorian contracts and Section 32 statements , preflight applies s32 disclosure logic, confirming the s199 planning certificate, the s151 OC certificate where an Owners Corporation exists and reconciling the values stated in the s32 body against the source documents attached behind it.

Where it sits in the review

Preflight runs the moment Curia finishes processing the contract, before the section-by-section walkthrough. Its job is contract review readiness, so the rigorous review that follows isn't interrupted by surprises. Once preflight clears the file, Smart Prefill takes over and organises the extracted detail into your firm's review structure.
