What is Preflight?

Preflight is an initial check that:

• Performs checks on vendor name, title reference, land address, document dates, and presence of key sections
• Displays results using a simple traffic light system:
  
  • Green: Pass
  • Yellow: Warning
• Allows users to make an informed decision about proceeding with the review
  

How do I access Preflight?

• Preflight is the first tab in the review process
• It is automatically generated for all uploaded documents
• Users can view the PDF document while reviewing Preflight results
• No additional actions are required to enable or access Preflight
  

What does Preflight check?

Preflight performs several checks across three main categories:

Match

• Vendor name
• Title reference
• Land address

Current

• Title search date
• Planning certificate date

Sections

• Front page
• Execution page
• Choices page
• Standard terms
• Special conditions
• Planning certificate
• Title search
• Strata by-laws (if applicable)
• Tenancy agreement (if applicable)
• Sewer service diagram
• Service location print
• Pool certificate (if applicable)
• Title Searches (expandable) - Each title search is validated independently
• Dealings (expandable) - Prescribed dealings from title searches
• Draft Dealings (unregistered contracts only) - Proposed dealings from Section 88B instruments
  

Note: Except for Title Searches and Dealings, section checks verify if ANY page of that section type is detected in the contract. For example, the Planning Certificate check passes if any planning certificate page is found - it does not validate individual planning certificates per title. Similarly for sewer diagrams and other document sections.

How do I interpret Preflight results?

• Green (Pass): The check was successful
• Yellow (Warning): Potential issue detected, requires manual verification

Not all checks will appear for every document. For example, "Strata By-Laws" are only checked for Strata Plan properties.

Preflight for Off the plan contracts

Preflight handles unregistered (off the plan) contracts differently from standard registered contracts:

Match section

For unregistered contracts, the Land address and Title reference checks are omitted from the Match section. These checks are not applicable for off the plan purchases where the property is not yet registered.

Title Searches

The Title Searches section validates parent lot searches instead of proposed lot searches. Each parent title search is checked independently to ensure the required title search documents are present in the contract.

Draft Dealings

A new Draft Dealings expandable section appears for unregistered contracts. This section shows all extracted dealings from Section 88B instruments, grouped by proposed lot. Expand the section to see details of each draft dealing detected in the contract.

Additional checks

Unregistered contracts include additional preflight checks:

• Disclosure statement: Checks if a disclosure statement is detected in the contract (pass/warning)
• Schedule of finishes: Checks if a schedule of finishes is detected in the contract (pass/warning)

For more information about off the plan contracts, see Using Curia for Off The Plan contracts.

How do I proceed after reviewing Preflight?

After reviewing the Preflight results, you have two options:

Start review

• Click "Start review"
• Confirm your choice in the popup
• You will be charged the full review fee. See billing stages for more information.
  
• The review will proceed to the next tab
  

Abandon review

• The review will be closed and you will return to the Documents page
• The document status will change to "Closed"
• You can restart the review later if needed
  

What should I do if Preflight shows warnings?

• Warnings in Preflight should be manually verified
• If a document section is detected as missing, double-check its presence
• It's possible, although rare, that Curia Contract Review didn't detect or misclassified a document section
• These outcomes indicate that legally required documentation may be missing and would be required before contracts can be exchanged
  

Is Preflight optional?

• No, Preflight runs automatically on all documents uploaded to Curia Contract Review
• While Preflight itself cannot be disabled, users can choose to:
  
  • Start the review after viewing the Preflight results
  • Abandon the review if the Preflight results indicate significant issues
    

Can I continue an abandoned review?

• Yes, an abandoned review can be restarted at any time
• To restart a review:
  
  • Open the document from the Documents page
  • Click "Start review" on the Preflight tab
• The Preflight results will still be available for review before deciding to proceed
  

Why is Preflight data marked as outdated?

• Preflight data is only marked as outdated after clicking "Start review" and moving beyond the Preflight tab
• A review that is still in the Preflight stage is never marked as outdated
• The Preflight component indicates data currency in two ways:
  
  • Fresh data: Displayed in colour (during Preflight stage)
  • Potentially outdated data: Displayed in grey with a warning message (after starting review)
• Once marked as outdated, Preflight data:
  
  • Cannot be reset
  • Will remain in an outdated state
  • May still be relevant and correct, but is not guaranteed to reflect any manual changes made during the review
