sale of the whole premises
Explanation:
The concept is that the entire property is being conveyed with the deed, rather than indicating "x" square meters or cubic meters.
In other words, the entire property is conveyed, regardless of whether the footage is 199, 200 or 201. Otherwise, the deed would have to specify "200 square metres or thereabouts".
The reference for the term is from De Franchis, Dizionario Giuridico italiano/inglese.

disagree  Catherine Bolton: The part about "stato di fatto" is what refers to the "as is" bit.

per aversionem


Explanation:
per aversionem - sale of immovable where it is designated by the adjoining tenements and sold from boundary to boundary for a lump price. Of a sale where goods are taken in bulk or land or building is bought by estimation of the number of acres/square metres/cubic metres . So called because the buyer “turns away” from a careful scrutiny of the things purchased.
