Specialist translators in the real estate industry
Enabling the world of real estate to communicate
Translation backed by industry expertise
The team at immotranslations has spent many years working as professionally qualified real estate and legal professionals in Germany and the UK, and bring that knowledge and experience to their translation services.
It is not always possible to translate a text word for word or to rely on the accuracy of AI, particularly in terms of syntax, context and terminology; that is why our experience enables us to understand the content and context of each document and to provide our clients with the accurate translations and texts they demand to conduct their businesses effectively within the global market.
We are in an exceptional position. Not only do we provide direct translations for our clients, but we are able to appreciate nuance captured within texts and thereby identify technical narrative which can potentially be expressed in a more effective way. We can do this because our team has an unparalleled breadth and depth of expertise in the real estate industry. We call this "intelligent translation".
Expertise that speaks your language
We provide translation and copy editing / proofreading services and handle all forms of documentation exchanged or referred to in all branches of real estate.
These range from sales and lettings particulars and contractual documents to valuations and correspondence; from presentations to press releases; and from facility management, technical and investment reports to company websites.
We can receive instructions and documentation for translation by email (in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher or PDF format), in hard copy format or through filesharing. Translations are provided to our clients in accordance with their requirements.
Please note that our translations of real estate-related legal documents such as sale and purchase agreements and leases can only be provided for information purposes.
Before delivery, all documents are proofread to ensure that the client receives only the highest quality and most accurately translated texts.
We assure complete discretion, thereby respecting the confidentiality requirements of our clients in all matters. Confidentiality and issues concerning liability are included in our General Terms & Conditions. We are prepared to sign confidentiality agreements in individual cases, where required.
