This sounds like how you would buy a flat where you didn't want to make a paper trail.
In the real (non-criminal) world you would have a conveyancing solicitor handle it, and he would take care of the contract, the transfer, checking for liens, stamp duty etc.
How do you even know the seller owns the flat when you do everything in cash?
- franciscop 4y agoWhy involve, trust and pay an extra fee to a 3rd party when you can just use cash? It seems like it's not fishy in this case since it all happened within a bank.
- matkoniecz 4y agoPaper trail was fully present - with notary certifying that transaction took place and updating records in land registration, preparing tax stuff to pay and record. I expect that they also checked at least basic status of that property and that it had no mortgage, encumbrances etc recorded in the land register. I bet that bank also recorded that transactions.
