OUR HISTORY
immotranslations was founded by Eleanor Duddy in 2003 and incorporated in Scotland in 2007. A subsidiary office began operating in Germany in 2013 and this evolved into immotranslations (Deutschland) GmbH in 2020, with its registered office in Hanau. The company draws together the expertise of native speaking English and German specialist professionals in the fields of real estate valuation, property and facility management, marketing, investment management and finance, and real estate law.
The company’s business model is based on the concept of ‘intelligent translation’ which has been extremely successful, resulting in a diverse client base including banks, real estate advisory companies and multinational professional services networks.
The Beginning
Following a successful career as a practising chartered surveyor working in the fields of property management, valuation and development planning, Eleanor Duddy founded immotranslations in 2003. As a Member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, she had gained extensive real estate and legal experience in the UK and Germany.
Expansion
immotranslations was incorporated as a private limited company in Scotland in 2007 and expanded its network of associates to cover specialist legal, marketing and investment aspects of real estate documentation.
Germany
In 2013, Eleanor operated an immotranslations Germany office in Detmold and then Bielefeld. Following the success of the German office but in response to the UK’s exit from the EU, the company established immotranslations (Deutschland) GmbH in 2020 to ensure the continued delivery of a high-quality service to our clients.
Our future
We are busy planning the further development of our business across Europe and look forward to building further on our client relationships, particularly in our core markets of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
