Managing multiple titles

Curia automatically creates individual Title entries for each Title Reference detected on the contract front page, allowing for comprehensive management of multiple Title properties with dedicated Title Searches and proper separation of plan-specific information.

What are multiple titles in contracts?

Multiple Titles occur when a single contract involves more than one property Title, such as a unit and car space, or multiple lots in a subdivision. Each Title can have different plan types and associated searches.

Registered vs Unregistered contracts

The Title registration setting is a contract-level classification that determines how titles are displayed and managed throughout the review. This setting is automatically determined based on the contract particulars but can be manually changed if needed.

Registered: Standard property purchases where titles are already registered with NSW Land Registry Services. Titles appear in a single unified list.
Unregistered (Off the plan): Purchases where the lots are not yet registered. Titles are split into Proposed Titles and Parent Titles (see Unregistered contracts below).

What title structures does Curia support?

Curia supports virtually all NSW Title structures depending on the property type and configuration:

Single Deposited Plan Title

Multiple Deposited Plan Titles

Single Strata Plan Title

Multiple Strata Plan Titles with shared Common Property

Multiple Strata Plan Titles with separate Common Property

Parent Plans with any structure

Any of the above structures can include one or more parent plans:

Neighbourhood Plan: Shared across all Titles in the contract.
Precinct Plan: Shared across all Titles in the contract.
Community Plan: Shared across all Titles in the contract.
Only one of each parent plan type can exist per contract.

How do I manage Title entries?

Curia scans the contract front page for Title References.

Unregistered (Off the plan) contracts

For unregistered contracts, titles are organised differently. The core operations for adding, editing, and removing titles work the same as described above, but the display and some fields differ.

Proposed Lot and Parent Titles

Unregistered contracts display titles in two sections:

Proposed Lot: The lot being purchased that is not yet registered. Displayed as "Proposed Lot 1", "Proposed Lot 2", etc.
Parent Titles: The existing registered lots from which proposed lots will be subdivided

Parent Lot Section Plan field

The Parent Lot Section Plan field identifies the parent lot from which the proposed lot will be subdivided:

Automatically extracted from contract particulars.
Can be manually modified if required.
Supports multiple parent lot references per proposed title.
Changes to this field affect the automatic generation of Parent Titles.

To add a parent lot reference, click the "Add new lot" button. To remove an existing reference, click the "Delete" button next to the entry.

How do I manage Title Searches?

What are individual Title Searches?

Each Title has its own dedicated Title Search section with unique Dealings and details. The available Title Searches depend on the Title's plan type:

Deposited or Auto Consol Titles: Lot, Neighbourhood Plan, Precinct Plan, Community Plan.
Strata Titles: Lot, Common Property, Neighbourhood Plan, Precinct Plan, Community Plan.

How does Title Search detection and toggling work?

Title Searches are automatically enabled if detected in the contract documents.
If not detected, available Title Searches are marked as 'not detected' and are not enabled.
Users can manually enable any available Title Search type.
Each enabled Title Search can include certificate dates, Dealings, and additional fields.

How do Common Property searches work?

Common Property searches are available for strata plan types and are automatically shared between Titles with matching plan numbers:

Automatically created when detected in strata contracts.
Shared across all Titles with the same plan number.
Includes unit entitlement fields.
Can be manually enabled for strata Titles if not automatically detected.

How do parent plans work?

Neighbourhood Plan, Precinct Plan, and Community Plan searches are shared across all Titles in the contract:

Adding a parent plan to one Title automatically makes it available to all Titles.
Shared status is indicated with "This plan is shared with:" notifications.
Only one of each parent plan type can exist per contract.
Can be manually enabled or disabled for any Title.

What fields are available in Title Searches?

Each active Title Search may include fields such as:

Certificate date: Date of the Title Search certificate.
Dealings: Draggable list of detected or custom Dealings with report titles and content.
Unit entitlement: Available for Common Property searches only.

The available fields depend on your account configuration.

How do unregistered plan Title Searches work?

For unregistered (off the plan) contracts the Title Searches are split into two sections, Proposed Titles and Parent Titles:

Proposed Titles: shows all proposed lots and their individual proposed title chains.
Parent Titles: shows all existing registered lots from which the Proposed Titles will be generated and their full title chains.
Click "Manage..." to access the Title and review details

Common Property searches are shared between Titles with matching plan numbers.
Changes to shared plans affect all associated Titles.
Shared status is clearly indicated with informational notices.

What happens when I change plan types?

The plan type setting determines which Title Search options are available:

Strata plans enable Common Property searches.
Plan type changes from Strata to Deposited or Auto Consol will immediately remove the existing Common Title Search.

What happens when I change title registration status?

Changing the Title registration setting affects how titles are displayed across the entire contract:
