center lines of the party walls (or) common walls Explanation: In English, and in both legal and building terms, "pared medianera" or "medianería" (the wall separating two properties) is called a "party wall" (i.e., a wall shared by two parties). Here is the definition from Black's Law Dictionary (8th ed.): Party Wall-a wall that divides two adjoining, separately owned properties and that is shared by the two property owners as tenants in common. Also termed "common wall." You can find additional related terminology here in a booklet that explains the UK Party Wall Act 1996 http://www.odpm.gov.uk/index.asp?id=1131402 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2006-02-14 07:53:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I see that the term "partition wall" has been used, and this term is sufficiently descriptive but may mean any separating wall, and not necessarily the "pared medianera" dividing two separately-owned properties, which in legal terms is called a "party wall" in both US and UK law (219,000 hits in Google) |
