Dealing Extraction

Every NSW title search lands with a list of dealings — easements, covenants, restrictions on use, mortgages, leases, planning agreements — each one a registered document the purchaser is bound by. Reading them in their raw form is slow. Translating them into something a buyer actually understands is slower. Dealing extraction software for conveyancing is the part of Curia that does the reading and the translating, so you can spend your time on the calls that need a conveyancer.

The problem with reviewing dealings by hand

A typical NSW title search references several dealings, sometimes a dozen on an established property. Each one is a separate document written in registry language — references to grantors and grantees, plan numbers, widths and easement areas, obligations to maintain or not obstruct. The dealing has to be obtained, read, and then explained to the purchaser in language they can act on. Doing that well takes time you don't have. Doing it quickly risks a one-line summary that misses what the dealing actually does to the property.

How Curia handles dealings

Extracts and categorises across 40+ types

When the title search comes in, Curia parses the dealings against a library of more than 40 predefined dealing types — easements (drainage, support, services, carriageway), covenants positive and restrictive, restrictions on use, leases, mortgages, caveats, notices of acquisition, planning agreements and more. Each dealing is matched to its category so the right description template applies.

Writes purchaser-focused descriptions

For each dealing, Curia produces a plain-English description aimed at the purchaser, not the conveyancer. It states whether the dealing benefits, burdens or does not affect the property; describes the area or location where this is known from the plan; and sets out the rights and obligations using "you" for the purchaser. Easements show who can enter and what they can do. Covenants show what can and can't be built. Restrictions show what the buyer cannot do with the land they're about to own.

Sits inside the title search step of the review

Dealing extraction lives in the title search step of the contract review workflow . You confirm or amend each extracted dealing, toggle visibility for ones that aren't relevant to the final report, and add custom entries for anything unusual. The resulting descriptions flow straight into the report you deliver to your purchaser — no rewriting, no copy-paste from a precedent file.

Built for the NSW title system

Automated title dealings review is shaped around how the NSW Land Registry actually records encumbrances. The 40+ dealing categories, the easement-covenant analysis, and the description templates all reflect NSW practice and the way dealings are registered against folio identifiers. Curia is also live in Victoria, where title-side disclosure runs through the Section 32 statement rather than registered dealings on a title search — the Victorian workflow uses a different mechanism for that information, covered on the VIC product page .

Where this fits

Dealing extraction pairs naturally with Title Understanding , which interprets the title search itself. Together they take the title-side burden off the conveyancer and put a finished, purchaser-ready section into the report.
