neutral  ViBe: I think the correct economic term for "(physical) possession" in this case would be "operation" or "usage" ("use"). // OK then, possession it is. Versus "ownership" or "title" (better than "property," I guess)

Propriedade neste caso parece tratar-se do bem imóvel, pois a frase termina com "proprietário". Além de property poderia ser "real property".
