Pfaff!
You can save YOUR rudery for somebody else. You've completely changed the basis on which you're arguing just to prove your superiority and yet are STILL attacking me hammer and tongs and blaming me for being the one who is bonkers.
You go back and re-read our discussion, the salient bits of which I have picked out for you as you seem to be incapable of recalling it - or even understanding it when it's put there in black and white before you.
You responded to a post that was referring to a transaction between two private individuals by saying you wouldn't do it; a little later you justified that patently nutty position by changing your story on the basis that you wouldn't do it in your professional life.

You need to learn a little about the law for conveyancing of land; you cannot do it on a nod and a handshake. BUT, up to the point of exchange of contracts it IS all on a nod and a handshake, and if - as you clearly do - you think otherwise you are naive and best of luck to you - you'll need it.
Next time I sell a property and somebody appears offering me cash and to exchange within a week I shall ask the mods for your email so I can send you a bottle so you can celebrate with me. Like Bellboy says - and he probably does more deals a year than the rest of us put together - until you have the cash it's not a deal.
