Visual Reference

A purchaser doesn't read contracts the way a conveyancer does. A clause buried on page 47, a marking on a deposited plan, a strikethrough on a general conditions page — these are the things that matter most, and the things hardest to explain in text alone. Visual Reference is the contract clause visualisation tool inside Curia: pull the page out of the contract PDF, mark it up, and drop it straight into your review and final report.

The problem with text-only explanations

You've found the issue. A special condition on page 31 shifts a deposit-release trigger; an easement runs across the back fence on the plan; an unusual restriction sits in a covenant on the title. Explaining that to a purchaser in prose is slow, and most of them won't follow it. So you copy-paste, screenshot from a viewer, drop it into a Word file, label it by hand. It works, just badly. And every contract you do it again from scratch.

How Visual Reference works

Pull the page from the contract

Open the contract in the Curia review pane and extract any page as an image — a special conditions page, a Section 32 disclosure, a deposited plan, a title diagram. The page comes through at full resolution, ready to mark up. No external PDF tool, no screenshot stitching.

Annotate with arrows, highlights and notes

Add arrows to point at the clause that matters. Highlight the line that triggers the obligation. Drop a short note next to the marking on a plan. The annotations live on top of the page image, so the original contract page stays intact and the markings sit clearly over it.

Embed in the review and the report

Place annotated pages inline against the review item they relate to — a special condition, a dealing, a planning matter. When Curia generates the final purchaser report, those visuals carry through. The purchaser sees the actual page from their contract, with your markings on it, alongside your plain-English explanation.

Built for Australian property contracts

NSW special conditions, VIC Section 32 statements, deposited plans, title diagrams, planning certificates — every Australian property contract has pages that are far easier to show than to describe. Visual Reference works against the contract you've uploaded, so it fits the way NSW and VIC contracts are actually written. For visual contract review Australia-wide, it removes the workaround layer most firms rely on today.

Where it fits in the review

Visual Reference sits on the output side of the workflow. As you step through the review, you annotate property contract pages where a visual is going to communicate faster than prose. The report generator picks them up automatically, so the document your purchaser receives reads less like a memo and more like a guided walk through their own contract.
