The General tab

The General tab covers the document attachments that do not fit elsewhere - disclosure documents, due diligence checklists, requisitions, certificates and insurance - and lets you confirm Curia detected each one.

The General tab is the catch-all for documents the contract includes that do not sit under another tab. Curia detects each one when it processes the contract; the General tab is where you confirm the detection and supply a page number for anything that was missed.

What sits on the General tab

Each row corresponds to a document type that may or may not be attached to this contract. Which rows appear depends on the contract’s state and on which fields your account has turned on.

  • Due diligence checklist (VIC) - whether the checklist is attached.
  • Disclosure statement (NSW) - whether the document is attached, plus the start page.
  • Requisitions (NSW) - whether requisitions on title are attached, plus the start page.
  • Schedule of finishes - whether a schedule is attached, plus the start page.
  • Section 66W Certificate (NSW) - whether a section 66W certificate is attached, plus the start page.
  • Occupation Certificate - whether an occupation certificate is attached, plus the start page.
  • Survey report - whether a survey report is attached, plus the start page.
  • Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding Clearance Certificate - whether an FRCGW clearance certificate is attached, plus the start page.
  • Land Tax Certificate - whether a land tax certificate is attached, plus the start page.
  • Auction conditions (NSW) - whether auction conditions are attached.
  • Home Building Compensation Fund certificate of insurance (NSW) / Domestic Building Insurance certificate (VIC) - whether the relevant builder insurance certificate is attached, plus the start page.

When you see a warning

If Curia did not detect a document that the contract should have, the row shows a yellow notice above the field, for example “Disclosure statement not detected”. Open the contract PDF and check:

  • The document really is attached. If not, the warning is correct; raise it with the vendor’s solicitor.
  • The document is attached but Curia missed it. Enter the start page in the field; the warning will clear.

A row that you do not need - say, a schedule of finishes on a contract that does not have one - can be left blank, and the row will not appear in the report.
