Comment: "Thanks. I have decided to keep something about 'not going through the accounts of the notary' too, but I think this is good. In response to Carol, Katerina and Enrique, I note the referenced text says "there is no reason in law" why payment should not be carried out thus."

"under the table"/out of sight
I think it's one of those traditional (in France and Spain at least!) real-estate transactions where, to avoid paying too much tax, the solicitor discretely leaves the room at the time of handing over the payment, and doesn't see the sum actually paid - which will not be the same as that stated on the deeds.

Good point! But the whole thing looks a bit fishy, imo!

thanks Enroque! As Eutichus says, it's rather an odd way to carry on, but I suppose it could be used unofficially, as an inducement.

: perfectly neat "boilerplates"//Yes, agree again (fishy indeed!)

thanks katarina :)... I suppose that, instead of "out of sight", you cd simply say "unseen by the notaire", which is as perfectly bland as the ST!

: As well as being absolytely false they would have to be absolute idiots to put it in writing.
