Have a purchase contract translated into German
Purchase agreements that notaries, land registries and banks accept without query – certified-translated, with a legally sound rendering of purchase price, handover and liability.
With a purchase agreement, the translation decides whether ownership, purchase price and liability apply abroad too
Whether property, company share or vehicle: we render purchase price, handover, warranty and rights of withdrawal so that the notary, land registry and bank recognise the version – certified and bilingual on request.
For property buyers abroad: on time for the notary appointment, recognised by the land registry
A property purchase involves more than the purchase agreement: land register extract, financing confirmation, energy certificate and power of attorney – we translate the entire set with consistent terminology.
Does the foreign notary require a certified translation of the purchase agreement?
Yes – notaries, land registries and banks generally accept foreign-language purchase agreements only with a certification note from a sworn translator. We deliver the certified version; ideally plan the translation a few weeks before the notary appointment.
What applies if I do not understand the language at the notary appointment?
Where a notary records a contract with a party who does not command the language of the deed, a translation must be brought in; many jurisdictions additionally require an interpreter. On request we deliver a bilingual version with an exact correspondence of the paragraphs.
Do you also translate the land register extract, financing and tax documents?
Yes – we translate the complete set of documents for a property purchase, including the land register extract, financing confirmation, site plan and declaration of division, with terminology consistent across all documents.
How long before the notary appointment should I commission the work?
Because the purchase agreement is reviewed before recording and often prepared bilingually, we recommend commissioning several weeks in advance. You receive a binding fixed-price quote with a delivery date beforehand.
For companies and transaction teams: resilient across share and asset purchase agreements
From the share purchase agreement through the asset deal to schedules and side agreements, every definition counts – we secure terminology and confidentiality across the entire set of documents.
Does terminology stay consistent across the purchase agreement, schedules and side agreements?
Yes – we build a glossary for your transaction and lock approved wording in a translation memory, so that definitions, party designations and warranties stay identical across all documents and language versions.
How do you handle legal terms with no exact counterpart?
Legal terms rarely have an exact equivalent – a GmbH is not a Ltd., an Auflassung is not a closing. Our professional legal translators work with functional equivalents and, where needed, explanatory notes, so that the legal effect is preserved.
Do you treat transaction documents confidentially?
Purchase agreements, due-diligence documents and warranty catalogues leave our house only under control. On request we work under your non-disclosure agreement, limit access to a fixed team and use exclusively secure transfer channels.
For private buyers: vehicle, registration and customs without delay
Do I need a translation of the vehicle purchase agreement for registration abroad?
Often yes – registration offices and customs authorities require the purchase agreement in the local language, in part as a certified translation. We translate the purchase agreement and invoice so that registration is possible without query.
Do you also translate the vehicle title, registration certificate and invoice?
Yes – we translate the complete set for a vehicle purchase, including the registration certificate parts I and II and the purchase invoice, with correct rendering of vehicle, keeper and price details.
How quickly is the translation available?
As a rule within a few working days, express for urgent cases. You receive the binding fixed-price quote with a delivery date beforehand.

Translating a purchase agreement – frequently asked questions
Do you provide certified translations for the notary?
Yes – for notarial certifications we supply certified translations by translators authorised in Germany.
Are amounts and terms rendered correctly?
Yes – we render the purchase price, payment deadlines, handover and liability exactly and consistently.
How confidential is this?
Strictly confidential, with an NDA on request; GDPR-compliant processing.
What does it cost?
From €0.95 per standard line; for extensive contracts you receive a fixed price in advance.
Does the notary need a certified translation of the purchase contract for the notarisation?
Yes – if a contracting party does not have sufficient command of the contract language, the notarising notary requires a written translation of the purchase contract. We deliver the certified translation through translators authorised or sworn in Germany, so that the purchase price, payment and handover terms are recorded in a legally secure way for all parties.
Which body requires the translated vehicle purchase agreement?
For imported vehicles, the vehicle registration office requires the translated purchase contract as proof of ownership and acquisition for re-registration. We translate the object of sale, price, vehicle identification number and handover date in certified form and reproduce them unchanged.
Legally sound translation of purchase agreements
In a purchase contract, the purchase price, handover and liability must carry the same legal consequence in the target language – whether real estate, a company share or a vehicle. We translate true to the document and, on request, deliver with certification for the notary, land registry and bank. For related documents we also translate Contracts, Powers of attorney and notarial deeds. More on this in the practice area Legal translation.
