Translations of legal and property documents
Payslips, contracts, deeds and certificates: documents that banks, notaries and public authorities need to understand in Italian, German or English.
Translation is often one element of the purchase process; it is also available here as a standalone service.
A poor translation is not merely a typo
In a property transaction or procedure involving two countries, every document has a purpose: to satisfy a bank, inform a notary or respond to a public authority. Word-for-word translation is not enough. The document must take the form expected by its reader.
This is why I always start with the context: who will read the document, for what purpose and with what degree of formality.

How it works
A four-step process
1
Submission
You send me the document and explain its intended use, target language and recipient.
2
Assessment
Before starting, I confirm the type of translation required, a realistic timeframe and the cost.
3
Translation
I prepare a text that is appropriate for its intended use and free from ambiguity.
4
Delivery
You receive the document in the required format. If it forms part of a broader procedure, I insert it directly into that process.
Buying a home in Italy?
If so, translation is only one step. The Studio’s main service brings together everything else: banks, documents, checks and completion.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which languages are available?
Italian, German and English, in combinations relevant to property, banking and administrative procedures.
Is a translation always sufficient to use a document?
It depends on its intended purpose. Some uses require specific formalities. We check this before starting so you know immediately whether any additional steps are needed.
How long does it take?
It depends on length, complexity and urgency. Before starting, I give you a realistic timeframe together with the cost.
Where do we start?
With the preliminary call (30 minutes, €50), which is the entry point for every Studio service. We frame the requirement and I tell you how to proceed.
Do you have a document to use in a procedure involving two countries?
Book the preliminary call so that we can establish what kind of translation is required and how it fits into the wider process.
