GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:prezzo a corpo
English translation:price for the whole premises

Italian term or phrase: prezzo a corpo
term found in an Italian contract of sale of various pieces of real estate

also in the Proz glossary....
Explanation:
Hi Luke,
This is a specific legal term referring to the fact that the buyer is purchasing the property on a lump-sum basis, rather than based on a specific quantity.
According to the glossary, this is referred to as a "sale per aversionem" (see first ref).
Or you can put it as follows (second ref):

"sale of the whole premises"
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.

To include the \"price\" concept, as Angela has rightly pointed out, you could put \"price for the whole premises\".
That said, the fact that there is a price implies the sale/purchase of the property as the entire premises, in bulk or whatever you want to call it.
Just to explain further, you can buy a flat with the indication of \"entire premises\", meaning the flat itself and not the entire building.
Italian deeds always use this term, then specifying \"composed of a kitchen, hallway, two bedrooms\" and so on.

Thanks to Catherine for giving a reference to the glossary.
Gian, it would have been preferable for you to do the same as the asker is requesting something slightly different to the glossary entries.
What is now to be decided is which of the two entries is to be preferred?
Thanks
Angela
