What is the translation of mortgage?
Mortgage document translations involve translating financial statements, identity documents and supporting evidence for verifying income from their original language into a different language. If you are living and working in Spain, but want to buy a house in the United Kingdom you will need to have these documents translated from Spanish to English.
No matter who is applying, mortgage loans demand proof of income. You will typically need to provide evidence of employment, how much you earn and any outstanding debt as part of standard practices in the mortgage market. When these original documents are in a language other than English, for the purposes of a UK mortgage you will need to have them translated.
Why do I need a translated mortgage application?
When looking for mortgage approval from a UK lender, it’s unreasonable to expect them to accept your documents in a language other than English. It is up to you to prove that you can afford and pay mortgage fees and make regular payments. Therefore, translating mortgage documents is necessary for the lender’s understanding of your financial situation.
Decisions by lenders are based on business never personal opinions so make sure all your paperwork is in order and meets the lender’s requirements, including any translations.
The document submission and loan processing is already stressful and protracted. When you also need to supply foreign language documents to prove your income or as employment verification, it adds to the pressure. Espresso Translations are in the business of facilitating smooth financial transactions by supplying precise and professional translation of all your supporting documents.
What documents need translating for my mortgage application?
The following documents will need to be translated for your mortgage lender:
- Proof of identity e.g. passport, birth certificate
- Proof of address e.g. utility bill dated within previous three months
- Evidence of income e.g. pay stubs and letter from employer
- Bank statements for previous three to six months
- Documents proving you have the necessary deposit
- Up to date credit report
- Tax returns if self employed
- Residence permit in country of residence (if applicable)
In the United Kingdom, the valuation of the property is carried out by the mortgage lender. Therefore, with a UK property, this report will be in English and won’t need to be translated.
The above is not meant to be an exhaustive list and your bank may require different or additional documentation as part of your mortgage application. You should get a detailed list of all necessary paperwork that your lenders may need so if translations are required, you can contact Espresso Translations immediately.
How to Translate Bank Statements for Mortgage?
The mortgage application process involves a lot of paperwork, as detailed above, including bank statements. These are some of the most important documents that are required for home loan agreements and must be translated accurately, word-for-word. Even minor errors could be the difference between a mortgage application being approved or rejected.
Expert translators from Espresso Translations, who are qualified in the financial translation process, will ensure that your translated documents are complete and include everything your lender will require.
Simple send us clear and legible scans of your bank statements and your dedicated account manager will assign the most qualified translator in our network to work on your documents. A second translator will proofread the translation and your project manager will carry out final quality control checks.
Each translator will be a native speaker of the target language e.g. English for UK mortgage applications and fluent in the source language. They will also be subject matter experts, being qualified to deal with mortgage applications and other financial transactions. The finished translation will be sent to you for approval. You will receive 14 days of free amendments, should you need them.
What is an example of a loan translation?
A loan translation is the actual process of translating a loan document from one language to another, making sure all financial, legal, and technical terms are translated exactly as they are in the original document and the original document’s meaning and implications.
For example, a typical translation process for translating a mortgage contract from Spanish to English would involve translating key terms like “hipoteca” (mortgage), “tasa de interés” (interest rate), or “plazo del préstamo” (loan term) exactly as they are.
