Your documents: property & construction
Around the Guillemins district, in the student quarters and along the Meuse, part of the tenants and buyers do not read French. Renting or selling without a text they can understand puts as much liability on you as on them.
Leases and rentals
Lease agreements, student leases, house rules, rent receipts and notices to quit.
Condition reports
Entry and exit condition reports, technical descriptions and reservations recorded.
Sales and agreements
Preliminary sale agreements, title deeds, offers to purchase and suspensive conditions.
Co-ownership
Co-ownership regulations, minutes of general meetings and service charge statements.
Certificates and surveys
Energy performance certificate, soil attestation, electrical inspection and technical reports.
Planning
Planning permits, derogation requests and administrative procedure documents.
The way we handle the property & construction sector
Letting to a researcher arriving at Sart-Tilman, selling to a buyer from Limburg, running a co-ownership where three languages cross: the Belgian property paperwork chain is dense, and a lease that was not properly understood gets challenged two years later, once nobody remembers the conversation the same way.
We translate that whole chain, from the energy performance certificate to the soil certificate, taking in meeting minutes and house rules along the way. Documents heading abroad, a title deed or a valuation certificate, can be supplied in sworn form, with legalisation of the signature when the destination country requires it.
For a signing or a joint inventory of fixtures, the interpreter on site removes the ambiguity at the moment it appears, rather than in the registered letter that follows.
- Leases, rental contracts and house rules
- Preliminary sale agreements and title deeds
- Inventories of fixtures, in and out
- Co-ownership rules and meeting minutes
The situations where an interpreter changes the outcome
On site, the interpreter removes the ambiguity at the moment it matters: before the signature, not in front of a judge two years later.
Signings at the notary
Deeds of sale and mortgage deeds signed with a buyer who does not read French.
Joint condition reports
Entry and exit inspections, where every reservation recorded binds both parties.
Co-ownership meetings
General meetings with foreign co-owners, votes on works and calls for funds.
Handover of works
Site meetings and provisional or final handovers with foreign contractors.
If one party does not understand the language of the deed, the notary will require a sworn interpreter and will refuse to execute it without one. Confirm that as soon as the date is set: in some languages, a sworn interpreter cannot be found overnight.
Four steps, one contact person
The same person follows your property & construction file from the quote request to the moment the document is handed over.

The file goes to a specialist
A translator used to property & construction vocabulary drafts it, a reviser goes over the text afterwards.
- 04
Handover or on-site assignment
File by email, stamped copy by registered post if the counter asks for it. The interpreter, meanwhile, joins you at the agreed time.
A signing or a condition report with a non-French speaker?
Sworn interpreter at the notary, documents translated beforehand. Answer within the hour.
Six reasons to trust us with a property & construction file
Interpreters listed on the register
For an authenticated deed the interpreter must appear on the national register. We check the entry before confirming the booking, not afterwards.
We follow your diary
Signing dates often move at the last minute. We move the interpreter to the new date without redoing the file.
A linguist from your field
A specialised file never goes to a generalist translator, not even when the deadline is tight.
Contractual confidentiality
A confidentiality agreement signed by everyone involved, servers located in the European Union, files deleted on request.
A price fixed in advance
What appears on the quote is what appears on the invoice: translation, revision and delivery included, with no line added along the way.
Travel included across the province
Our interpreters come to Liège, Huy, Verviers, Eupen or Waremme with no mileage charge.
Frequently asked questions
Does a student lease have to be officially translated?
The law does not require it. But a translated lease and set of house rules protect both parties, and the tenant can no longer claim they had not understood the notice clause. A standard translation is enough here, and it costs less than a sworn one.
A Dutch or German buyer, what should I plan for?
The sale agreement and its annexes translated before signing, then a sworn interpreter at the notary if the buyer does not handle French. Buyers from the Netherlands or the Aachen area are common in the province: it is a sequence we organise often.
Do you translate co-ownership minutes?
Yes, regularly, for managing agents whose co-owners partly live abroad. We handle minutes, meeting notices and service charge statements within deadlines compatible with the statutory notice periods.
What about technical documents such as the energy certificate?
Yes. The energy performance certificate, the soil attestation and inspection reports use precise regulatory wording, with values and units that must not be converted wrongly. We treat them as technical translation, not as ordinary correspondence.
