To be clear, I am an Android Developer - and sold one of my apps (i have 5 in my account) to a business contact of mine. I want to transfer that ONE app from my developer account to his developer account.
It seems Android clearly defines how you transfer apps from an old account, to a new account (but both of those accounts are owned by you - and in this case the old account is closed down)
How do i transfer this one app i sold, with out affecting either account, or without hurting/losing the apps ratings/reviews/rank etc?

Before you can submit a transfer request from your original account to a different account (known as your target account), both Google Play developer accounts need to be registered and active. To confirm an account is active, make sure: Original account: You're able to sign in.
You can't transfer any Google Play content (apps, movies, music, books, or unspent credits) to another account. Not even if you own both accounts. However, you can link two (or more) accounts together in a Family Group and then share most purchases between the linked accounts.
There is no official way to do this that I know of. As you mentioned, there is a support page that suggests that Google has this capability. I would recommend that you contact the Android Market support team and ask them directly, clearly explaining your situation. That page says:
Contact us from both the original email address and the new email address requesting to transfer applications. We require emails from both accounts so that we can confirm ownership.
So I think it's not so much about owning both accounts as much as proving that this isn't a fraudulent transaction. If you explain the situation and have both yourself and the contact you sold the app to email them, that would confirm that both parties have consented.
I'm not sure if the Android Market support team will actually do it, but it's worth a shot.
