What's the difference between agreement to sell and sale deed translation?
An agreement to sell is a contract that commits parties to a future property transfer, while a sale deed is the registered conveyance executed after payment. Both documents may require certified English translation, but they serve different legal purposes — the agreement establishes intent, and the deed transfers title.

Do lease deeds for commercial property need certified translation?
Commercial lease deeds involving foreign tenants, landlords, or lenders frequently require certified English translation. The translation must accurately convey rent amounts, lease terms, maintenance obligations, and termination clauses.
How are property addresses preserved in translation?
Property addresses, survey numbers, plot numbers, and municipal identification codes are preserved verbatim — they are not translated. Only descriptive text such as boundaries and access descriptions is translated.
Can I translate just specific clauses of my agreement deed?
Partial translations are possible for internal review, but for legal, banking, or immigration submission, a full certified translation of the complete agreement deed is recommended. Most reviewing authorities will reject partial translations.
