Table borders and land size conditions

Choose how each table's borders are drawn in your report template, and branch report content on how large the land is.

New

  • Pick how each table’s borders are drawn in your report template, so a table suits its content instead of always carrying a full grid. The choice carries into the downloaded Word document, and the NSW and VIC summary tables now use row lines. Learn more
  • Report content can branch on how large the land is, so small lots, rural holdings and large holdings each get the commentary that applies to them. NSW only. Learn more

Fixed

  • Images in a downloaded report are sized to your account’s own page margins, sit clear of the text above them, and no longer fill a page when the source is a tall crop. Learn more

Reports locked at generation

Reports are now locked at generation and kept against the review, and a merge tag with nothing to show leaves no blank line or empty bullet.

Improved

  • Curia now locks a report at generation and keeps it against the review, so opening a completed review shows the report as it was produced. Where a review has no locked report, because it was completed earlier or closed without a report ever being generated, it opens on a Review complete card offering Generate report, with a warning that what you generate now may not match the file the client received. Learn more

Fixed

  • A merge tag with nothing to show no longer leaves a blank line or an empty bullet behind. Where the tag was the only thing on the line, the line goes with it, and a list that loses every item goes too. Learn more

A flatter, faster review field

Review fields now show every option as a labelled row you edit in place, and VIC reports describe conditions on the terms the contract sets.

Improved

  • A review field now lays out everything it holds as labelled rows you can scan without opening anything: Page, Reference, Image, Risk, Comment, Advice, Amendment and Recommendation. Comments, references, amendments and recommendations are edited by clicking the text and save when you click away, risk cycles Normal, Medium and High from a single badge, and rows holding nothing stay out of the way until you hover the card. Learn more
  • The VIC report now calls the settlement date “Settlement date” in the Summary table and as the Exchange section heading, matching the language Victorian purchasers and practitioners use. NSW reports continue to say “Date for completion”. Learn more
  • Subject to now names the estate step a VIC contract waits on. Registration of survivorship application and Registration of transmission application sit alongside Grant of probate, and a settlement date can run from any of the three in both states, so a contract waiting on a transmission is no longer described as waiting on probate. Learn more
  • Scheme Records Manager can now be used as a visibility condition in NSW report templates, so strata wording only appears where the contract names a records holder. Learn more

Fixed

  • On VIC contracts, Subject to now describes a building, pest or finance condition on the terms that contract sets, rather than stating the standard periods. A contract allowing 21 days for a building report is no longer reported as allowing 14. Learn more
  • An estate amendment request is now raised only where the contract is genuinely conditional on the grant or the dealing. A clause that recites the vendor selling as executor, or records probate as already granted, no longer raises one or puts anything in Subject to.
  • Stickers in the image editor now open and can be placed, moved and resized. Previously the sticker panel failed to load and the editor stopped responding until the window was closed. Learn more
  • Review rows on the Documents and matter pages no longer appear clickable to users without access to open a review. Reception users now see a default cursor instead of a pointer.

Subject to now reads the special conditions

VIC Subject to now picks up conditions from the special conditions, the Ria Template Agent reaches every account, and a new Lot and Plan merge field.

New

  • The Ria Template Agent is now available in the template editor on every account. Learn more
  • VIC templates have a new Lot and Plan merge field, which inserts a title’s lot and plan without the title reference, so the report reads the way your firm describes land. Learn more

Improved

  • On VIC contracts, Subject to now includes conditions imposed by a special condition, not only those ticked in the Contract Particulars. A sale conditional on the purchaser selling their own property, or on the grant of probate, now appears in the field with an explanation and the clauses it relies on, which you can click through to. Where finance is required by a clause rather than a checkbox, Finance required reads as pending. Learn more
  • Lot/Section/Plan, Parent Lot/Section/Plan and Lot entitlement & liability per title are no longer offered in the merge field picker, as each holds a set of values rather than a single piece of text. All three are still available when building a visibility condition. Learn more

Fixed

  • Blank lines beside a conditional block in the template editor can now be removed with backspace, and selecting the text of a condition branch and pressing backspace clears it in one keystroke.
Back to top

NSW GST, land tax and levy liabilities now arrive answered

NSW reviews open with the GST, land tax and levy positions already determined, and two contract reading fixes.

Improved

  • NSW reviews now open with the GST, land tax and scheme levy liability positions already determined, each shown as a single answer you can change directly on the field. The reasoning behind each determination, including the clauses it relies on, sits with the field. Learn more

Fixed

  • VIC special conditions that carry no clause numbering, such as a page of additional clauses agreed by the parties, are now read and reviewed alongside the numbered conditions.
  • NSW dealings whose instrument is reproduced more than once in a contract no longer report as a missing document.

Typography controls for Word downloads and a rebuilt Branding page

Word downloads get per-element typography, report headings follow your brand colour, and VIC proposed lots carry their plan dealings.

New

  • Word downloads now let you set the size, line spacing, space above and below, and left indent for each part of the document, from body text through the four heading levels to bulleted lists. Leave a property blank and it follows the default. Learn more
  • On VIC off the plan contracts, the proposed lot now carries the easements and restrictions from the plan of subdivision that creates it, listed under Proposed Dealings alongside the parent title’s own dealings. Learn more

Improved

  • Branding is now organised across three tabs: Brand for your logo, colours and font, Report for the report palette and alignment, and Word Downloads for the export. Report headings follow your primary brand colour, so one colour brands the whole report. Set the palette by hand where the report needs different colours. Learn more
Back to top

Official land address checks for NSW and VIC

Land addresses are now checked against government records in NSW and VIC, registered leases populate Tenancy, and Curia alerts you when saving fails.

New

  • On NSW contracts, the land address is now checked against the addresses government land records hold for the property. Where it is not one of them, Curia raises an amendment asking the vendor to confirm the official registered address. Learn more
  • VIC contracts now have the same land address check against government records. Learn more
  • Leases registered on the title now appear in the Tenancy section with their term, rent and parties, alongside leases attached to the contract as standalone agreements. Learn more
  • Curia now tells you when your changes have stopped saving, for example after a dropped internet connection, showing when the review last saved successfully so you can protect your work. The alert clears on its own once saving recovers. Learn more

Improved

  • The Preflight Title reference check now compares the contract’s reference against the planning certificates as well as the title searches, and expands to name which document disagreed for each title. Learn more
  • Unregistered contracts are now included in the Title reference check, compared on their parent lots. Learn more

Fixed

  • Strata by-laws reproduced without a registration header on a registered NSW contract are now matched to their title search dealing, so a contract that contains the by-laws no longer reports them as missing. Learn more
Back to top

Mobile report editing, VIC special conditions and boundary images

The report draft works at phone widths, VIC special conditions on the particulars page are detected, and boundary images are more consistent.

Improved

  • The report draft is now usable at phone widths. The formatting toolbar fits on one row with the remaining groups behind a More toggle, the download actions move to their own row below it, and the step rail scrolls sideways. Learn more
  • Improved consistency of results when property boundary images are generated for VIC titles. Learn more

Fixed

  • VIC special conditions written at the end of the contract particulars page are now detected. Preflight passes the Special conditions row and links to the page where the conditions begin. Learn more

Improved report gating and crown allotment matching

Better gating of report content on zone, overlay and planning fields, and improved matching of VIC crown allotments.

Improved

  • Improvements to gating report content on the planning and zoning fields. A condition can select an individual option, such as a single zone or overlay, or all options on the field. Learn more
  • Where a property carries several zones or overlays, every matching branch renders in order, so a property in two zones shows the content written for both. Learn more
  • Conditions on these fields read as “includes” and “does not include”, and the preview panel accepts several options at once so a block can be checked against a property carrying more than one zone or overlay. Learn more
  • Improved matching of crown allotments across the document pack. VIC crown allotment contracts now pick up zoning, overlays, local government area, planning scheme, bushfire prone area, Aboriginal cultural heritage and Melbourne strategic assessment on the planning tab. Learn more
Back to top

Cleaner reports and more accurate VIC contract details

Reports drop sections that have nothing in them, VIC exchange dates come from the signature pages, and tags can be dragged back into order.

New

  • Drag tags to reorder them in any field that takes multiple values, including vendors, purchasers and planning overlays. The order you set is the order they appear in the report. Learn more

Improved

  • Report sections and groups that end up with no content no longer appear at all. The heading goes with them, so the report has no bare headings and no gap where the section would have been. Learn more
  • VIC exchange dates now come from the signature blocks on the execution pages, so report dates and the duty estimate are based on the date the contract was actually signed. Learn more
  • Beta badges are gone from the VIC Clauses and Title Search tabs, and the state selector on Library dealings and recommendations is hidden on accounts that operate in a single state.

Fixed

  • Fixed a rare case where an overlay on neighbouring land appeared among the overlays affecting the property.
  • More settlement term and proposed lot formats are recognised on VIC off-the-plan contracts.
  • Owners corporation and title search fields you have switched on but left blank are now caught at Finalise instead of rendering empty in the report.
  • Creating a matter from the side pane on the New review page now works on accounts without a practice management integration.
  • Searching for a synced Smokeball contact no longer requires typing the middle name in full, and results show the full name.
  • The unit area value fills the row on NSW strata contracts instead of leaving space beside it.

New report conditions and honest VIC planning answers

Gate report content on single-title contracts and connected services, use NSW entitlement fields as conditions, and answer Unknown on VIC planning risks.

New

  • Gate report content on the property having a single title. The new condition is available for both NSW and VIC. Learn more
  • VIC reports can now list the services that are connected, rather than only those that are not. A merge tag inserts the list and a condition gates content on whether any service is connected. Learn more
  • NSW lot entitlement, aggregate entitlement and lot count can be used as report conditions and inserted as merge tags, so content can be gated on a title search carrying an entitlement. Aggregate entitlement now appears once in the merge tag picker instead of twice. Learn more

Improved

  • Dealing detection on VIC contracts now picks up easements and other dealings taken from the plan, including on contracts that hold no registered instrument documents. Those dealings appear on the title search tab alongside the ones read from the title search. Learn more
  • The four VIC planning risk fields start unanswered and can be set to Unknown when the contract carries no property report to read them from. The report no longer states that the property is unaffected by bushfire, Aboriginal cultural heritage, Melbourne strategic assessment or roads proposals where that has not been established. Learn more

Fixed

  • Vendor name and title reference checks on VIC off-the-plan contracts now compare against the parent title named in the particulars instead of reporting missing data, and the proposed lot is no longer counted as a title search document in the currency and presence checks. Learn more
Back to top

Your work is protected when a review is open twice

A review open in two sessions no longer loses work, and repeating lists, add controls and tag fields are more consistent to work through.

New

  • A review open in two places no longer loses work. Only the session that saved first keeps saving. The other stops and shows a banner naming who made the change and when, with Reload to pick up their version. Learn more

Improved

  • The Reject action on a Ria proposal is now Request changes, matching what it does: it sends your reason back to Ria so she can revise and propose again. Dismiss remains the way to end a proposal without feedback. Learn more
  • Repeating lists on the review pages, including dealings, notations, clauses, custom clauses and AGM items, share one framed design, and every add control looks the same wherever you find it.
  • Fields where you add multiple values as tags are now operable from the keyboard. Arrow keys open the list and move through the options, Enter selects the highlighted option or commits what you have typed, and Escape closes the list.

Fixed

  • Ria no longer follows up on a dismissed or revised proposal as though its changes had been applied, which previously left the conversation with nothing you could accept.
  • Step numbers stay circular and dropdown options render correctly when labels are long.
Back to top

Standard purchaser questions in the request library

Common conditional purchase and pre-settlement questions are ready to add from the request library.

New

  • Six standard purchaser questions are available in the request library, so you can add common requests without drafting them. NSW reviews offer conditional on building and pest inspection, conditional on finance approval, conditional on sale of the purchaser’s property, conditional on a strata report, an extended cooling-off period of 10 business days, and access before settlement. VIC reviews offer the same set without the strata report and cooling-off questions. Each one arrives with vendor text and an explanation you can edit for the matter. Learn more

Fixed

  • VIC special conditions stating that land tax and windfall gains tax will not be adjusted at settlement no longer raise a request to delete the clause. These clauses restate the statutory position and are in the purchaser’s favour, so they are now grouped under adjustments methodology. A clause that shifts windfall gains tax liability to the purchaser still raises the deletion request.
Back to top

See what's outstanding at a glance

Review tabs now count what is still outstanding, and tenancy agreements are matched to the lot being purchased.

New

  • Each review tab shows how many items are still outstanding on it, so you can see what is left without opening Finalise. The count covers required fields with no value, entries that fail validation, and Ria Findings you haven’t actioned. A tab bar with no numbers means the review is ready to finalise. Learn more
  • Tenancy agreements are matched to the lot being purchased, so leases over other lots at the same address stay out of the list. Leases Curia can’t match, including duplicate copies and leases superseded by a renewal, are listed for you to add or dismiss. Learn more

Improved

  • VIC contract particulars fields link to the page the value appears on, rather than to the first page of the particulars.
  • VIC goods exclusions written as “not including” are now picked up.
Back to top

Every downloaded report is saved as a version

Downloading a report now saves it as a version you can revisit and re-download, on a Finalise tab rebuilt around three clear steps.

New

  • Every report you download is saved as a version, so your firm holds a record of exactly what was delivered to each client. Versions appear on the Finalise tab with the date and the person who downloaded them, and can be read or downloaded again at any time. Learn more
  • Reopening a completed review now warns you that Curia and your account settings may have changed since the last version, so you can check the review data before downloading again.
  • Review actions are now available from the review itself. Assign to a user, link or change the matter, download the original contract, and reset the review data from the menu in the review header, without returning to the Reviews page. Learn more

Improved

  • The Finalise tab now guides you through three steps: add your requests, edit the report draft, then download. Accounts using Legacy templates have two, with no draft to edit. Learn more
  • Reports now download as a Word document in a single action. Reports are no longer offered as a PDF.
  • A completed review keeps all its tabs. Opening one offers to reopen the review rather than hiding the finalised data from you.
  • Resetting the review data on a completed review now reopens it, so you can work on it straight away. Versions you have already downloaded are kept.
  • Adding a request now offers a Cancel button at every step, so you can always close it.

Fixed

  • Clause references now read consistently across special condition headings, location badges and amendments, without a repeated “Clause” label.
  • Dealings and restrictions with several numbered items now render each item on its own line instead of running together in one paragraph.
  • The Area tab no longer shows a total when only one area field is visible.
  • The delete icon in the titles list now matches the controls beside it, so it is clear it can be used.
Back to top

Copy amendments and questions for legacy reports

Adds one-click copying of amendments and questions for legacy reports, with VIC preflight and template editor refinements.

New

  • Accounts using legacy reports can now copy a review’s amendments and questions in one action from the report card on the Finalise tab. Learn more

Improved

  • In VIC preflight, Dealings now sits directly after Title search so related title and dealing checks are grouped together.

Fixed

  • Reordering an item or group in the report template editor no longer affects a different section that shares the same code.
Back to top

Victorian owners corporation AGM minutes and template section moves

Adds Victorian owners corporation AGM minutes to reviews, with template section moves and report editor fixes.

New

  • Victorian owners corporation reviews now surface AGM minutes alongside the OC certificate, showing approved costs, disputes and defects the certificate does not yet reflect, and flagging when the most recent AGM is more than twelve months old. Learn more

Improved

  • Items and groups can be moved between any section in your report template, custom or system, and the move is kept after you refresh or publish. Learn more

Fixed

  • Highlights applied in the report editor can now be removed with Word’s highlighter tool after download, and match the colour shown on screen.
  • The Add Request button no longer appears once the report preview is shown.
Back to top

Report highlight colours and stronger Victorian reviews

Adds per-element report highlight colours and stronger Victorian reviews, with fixes to sewer report items, accessory-lot titles, and layout.

New

  • Set background and font highlight colours for each report item type, Comment, Recommendation, Location, and Risk, in your report branding. Learn more
  • Victorian preflight flags title-search encumbrances whose instrument documents are missing from the contract. Learn more

Improved

  • The template item editor shows your account’s report branding while you edit, matching the report output.
  • The land address row is hidden from the contract summary when no address is present, and land address can be used as a visibility condition in templates.
  • Victorian off-the-plan contracts that include the developer’s head agreement are reviewed against only your client’s contract, with the owner and vendor difference shown as expected. Learn more

Fixed

  • Victorian contracts with many title searches that repeat the same encumbrance now complete review. Learn more
  • Victorian titles without a volume or folio, such as car spaces, now appear in the report.
  • Long Victorian registered instruments are summarised instead of failing.
  • Recommendations and images on the build-over and onsite sewer fields appear in reports.
  • Report and review field spacing is corrected.
  • The usage report CSV keeps each date and time in a single column.
Back to top

Ria Template Agent, plus clearer document fields

Edit report templates with the new Ria assistant, and answer document fields as a required Yes or No that controls your report.

New

  • Ria Template Agent: describe a change in the Template Editor and Ria proposes it for you to review before it applies. Learn more

Improved

  • Document fields such as survey reports and guarantees are now a required Yes or No, and your answer controls whether the item appears in your report.
  • Unregistered plans now read “Proposed Plan” instead of “Draft Plan” in NSW and VIC.
Back to top

Notices for vendor requests, plus VIC satellite imagery

Raise Notices to the vendor's solicitor, see VIC properties by satellite with boundaries overlaid, and link reviews straight from your connected CRM.

New

  • Raise Notices to the vendor’s solicitor for requests not tied to a contract field, such as missing documents or questions, and include them in your report. Learn more
  • VIC reviews now show a satellite image of each lot with the property boundaries overlaid, so you can confirm the property at a glance. Learn more
  • Link a review to a matter by searching your connected CRM directly, with the matter imported into Curia automatically. Learn more

Improved

  • The template editor now prompts you to publish when you leave with an unpublished draft.
  • VIC reviews read council annual rates from a rates notice when no Land Information Certificate is present, so the rates figure still appears in your report. Learn more
  • Single-state accounts no longer see a redundant State selection when creating a matter, and uploading without a linked matter takes you to the Reviews page.

Fixed

  • Corrected day and month occasionally being swapped on extracted contract dates, which drive settlement, finance and cooling-off deadlines.
Back to top

More reliable Word reports and a clearer VIC surcharge

Word reports get a reliable clickable table of contents and an optional first-page footer, plus a clearer VIC foreign purchaser surcharge.

New

  • You can now hide the footer on the first page of Word downloads, so a full-page cover image is not interrupted by page numbers, the date, or your logo. Learn more

Improved

  • The table of contents in downloaded Word reports is now clickable and lists sub-sections indented under their sections.
  • By default the table of contents no longer shows every page number as 1, and you can switch page numbers back on from the Branding Word Downloads tab when you need them. Learn more

Fixed

  • In VIC, the foreign purchaser surcharge is now shown as 8% throughout the report, correcting some places that previously mentioned 9%.
  • In the template editor, the edit and delete buttons on a section or group no longer expand or collapse it when clicked.
Back to top

Smokeball sync fixes and VIC off-the-plan reports

Joint purchasers now sync from Smokeball, matters are named after your client, and VIC reports drop items that do not apply off the plan.

Improved

  • Matters are now named after your client only, so a purchase matter shows the purchaser’s name rather than the vendor’s.
  • VIC reports no longer show council rates or water rates on off-the-plan contracts, where the lot is not yet separately rated.
  • VIC owners corporation certificates no longer show an unpaid fees item when the amount is $0.

Fixed

  • Joint purchasers held in a single group contact now come across when you sync a Smokeball matter, so every party on the matter is captured.
Back to top

Matters, contacts, and CRM integration

Group your work into matters, manage client contacts in Curia, and connect Smokeball to bring contacts and matters across automatically.

New

  • Matters group the parties and contract reviews for a single transaction, so everything for a client engagement sits in one place. Learn more
  • You can now link a review to a matter, move it to a different matter, and see every review for a matter together. Learn more
  • Contacts let you manage client records in Curia and link them to reviews, so you can find work by client name. Learn more
  • Link contacts to a review to capture who the parties are and find that work by client name later. Learn more
  • Connect Smokeball to bring your contacts and matters into Curia without re-keying them, with changes flowing through automatically. Learn more
  • When a CRM is connected, you can import a matter on demand and pull its parties straight into a review. Learn more

VIC land title fees, clearer reports, and consistent amendments

VIC reports now estimate the land title fee separately from transfer duty, with clearer report content and amendments that match the report.

New

  • VIC reports now estimate the land title fee payable to Land Use Victoria, shown separately from transfer duty. Learn more

Improved

  • The VIC transfer duty section now notes that the estimate may not include every concession a buyer is entitled to.
  • Amendments shown while reviewing now match the formatting in the final report. Learn more
  • The add clause form no longer offers a State selector, so clauses are always created as NSW. Learn more

Fixed

  • VIC off-the-plan reports now show the parent title’s detail, with a clearer no-dealings notice on proposed lots. Learn more
  • Report recommendations no longer drop per-item entries and follow the same order as amendments.
  • NSW clause advice now matches between the clause card and the Finalise amendment list.
Back to top

VIC owner-builder reports and Home Warranty Insurance

VIC reviews flag owner-builder defect reports, rename building cover to Home Warranty Insurance, and correct several Victorian fields and report templates.

New

  • VIC reviews now flag whether a Section 137B owner-builder defect report is included in the contract, and prompt you to request it when owner-builder insurance is disclosed but no report is present.

Improved

  • VIC building insurance is now called Home Warranty Insurance, reflecting the scheme that applies from 1 July 2026, while still recognising valid pre-1 July Domestic Building Insurance certificates.
  • The VIC tax reform field is now clearly labelled Tax reform scheme land (CIPT).
  • VIC exchange reports no longer include a standard settlement period note or deposit bond acceptance item.

Fixed

  • The VIC Adjustment of rates report item now appears correctly for Victorian contracts.
  • VIC Section 32 reviews now produce more focused material facts that avoid duplicating other disclosures.
Back to top

VIC plan areas, planning documents, and pool registration

VIC reviews now detect plan areas, flag planning and heritage documents, capture nearby overlays, and record pool registration separately from compliance.

New

  • VIC reviews now detect the areas printed on the plan and let you add each one to the right area field with one click, with a running total of all spaces. Learn more
  • VIC reviews now flag when planning and heritage documents are in the contract, including planning permits, heritage certificates, cultural heritage management plans, Aboriginal heritage reports, National Trust reports, and mining activity reports, and report on each one. Learn more
  • VIC planning reviews now capture planning overlays on nearby land, separate from overlays on the property itself. Learn more
  • You can now record whether a pool is registered separately from its barrier compliance, in NSW and VIC. Learn more

Improved

  • The VIC report section covering general and special conditions is now called Key Contract Terms. Learn more

Fixed

  • VIC clauses no longer show duplicate or overlapping entries on the Clauses tab.
  • NSW non-strata summaries now show the land area with its unit.

Estimate duty before purchaser details are confirmed

Produce duty estimates before investment or first home buyer details are confirmed, search your report template, and enter deposits in dollars.

New

  • You can now record Unknown for investment intent and first home buyer eligibility in NSW and VIC, and still get a duty estimate that covers the possible scenarios as a range. Learn more
  • Search your report template by title or content to jump straight to the item you need. Learn more

Fuller Victorian Section 32 reviews and reports

Capture more Section 32 disclosures in VIC reviews and reports, and build multi-document uploads one file at a time.

New

  • VIC reviews now capture a Material facts summary from the vendor statement, such as a death on the property or a sensitive adjoining land use, and show it in the report when disclosed. Learn more

Improved

  • VIC reports use refreshed wording for the Domestic Building Insurance and Occupancy Permit items.
Back to top

Word download branding and tidier VIC reviews

Brand your Word downloads firm-wide, and keep standard-form general conditions out of VIC reviews.

New

  • Firm-wide branding for Word downloads: add a letterhead, apply your own fonts, and use transparent heading backgrounds across every exported report, set once for the whole firm. Learn more
  • On VIC contracts, recognised standard-form general conditions are now kept out of the review, while custom general conditions and special conditions still appear, so reviews aren’t cluttered with boilerplate.

Improved

  • VIC reports now use clearer cooling-off wording, show transfer duty as payable at settlement, and break across pages more cleanly.
  • VIC water charges now record how often they’re billed, including every four months, and report an annualised figure so they compare to council rates on the same basis.

  • NSW contract particulars now expand hyphenated parent lot ranges into individual lots.

New

  • Lot Finder points you to the pages in a plan where your purchased lot appears, so you can jump straight to it instead of scanning the whole plan. Learn more

Improved

  • Hiding the tenancy tab now also removes its checks and amendments from the review.

Fixed

  • Closing a search field without choosing an option no longer leaves it filtered.
Back to top

VIC restriction summaries and quicker review editing

VIC plan restrictions are now summarised against the lots they affect, with quicker clause navigation and Finalise editing.

New

  • On VIC contracts, plan-created restrictions such as building envelopes or single-dwelling limits are now detected, summarised, and shown against the lots they affect.

Improved

  • Pool recommendations now appear for pools you add manually, and are available on VIC contracts.
  • VIC reports now show VIC-specific deposit terms.
  • VIC contracts with both an owners corporation search report and certificate no longer show a duplicate owners corporation entry.
  • NSW strata planning certificates and boundary imagery now attach when the certificate covers the whole strata scheme, clearing a false missing-certificate warning in Preflight.
  • Corrected the rescission date shown in generated reports.
Back to top

Image attachments on more review fields

Add and remove images on inclusions, exclusions, and title search date fields.

Improved

  • Attach images to more review fields, including inclusions, exclusions, and title search dates, and remove them again when you need to.

Fixed

  • Corrected VIC contracts where a registered title could be shown as unregistered.
Back to top

Victorian pool certificates

Victorian contracts now extract pool compliance certificates, and council rates totals from line items.

New

  • Victorian contracts now extract swimming pool compliance certificate details.

Improved

  • Victorian council annual rates now total automatically from the Land Information Certificate line items.
Back to top

Recommendation and mismatch fixes

Negotiation recommendations only on exchanged contracts, deduplicated mismatch names, and an NSW imagery fix.

  • The deposit amount shows in the summary only when a purchase price is set.

Fixed

  • Vendor name mismatch alerts no longer repeat the same name.
Back to top

Victorian council rates and clause map filters

Council annual rates on the VIC Land Information Certificate, clause map filtering, and tidier report currency.

New

  • Victorian contracts now capture council annual rates from the Land Information Certificate, with Ria’s reasoning.
