Spanish term
condominio
Spanish to English

Real Estate
This seemingly innocent sentence hides a good deal of complexity regarding property law. It is a brochure for a new residential development and the sentence is "[NAME OF DEVELOPMENT] condominio de 80.842 m/2 situado en la zona con el segundo aire más puro del planeta..."
My understanding of "condominium" is that the ownership is shared... ie "In modern property law, individual ownership of one dwelling unit within a multidwelling building. Unit owners have undivided ownership interest in the land and those portions of the building shared in common..."
This sounds like a block of flats to me under shared freehold... HOWEVER, according to the client they are referring to a "Parcela con casas unifamiliares".
So: is this "a plot of land with detached houses owned under shared freehold"? Does that make sense? I guess it could: maybe they share gardens etc....
Just to be clear, I'm NOT looking for the word "condominium"! :-)
UK English market please...
Many thanks!

BTW
It is a more sophisticated term for "block of flats/housing units/estate".
They are building these "housing developments" all over Portsmouth and as I say the term covers a multitude of sins. One of these "all-inclusive" terms!

Shared ownership housing development??
Is this what you mean?
I am involved in one here, from years ago...
i.e. I own 50% share in a flat and the other 50% is owned by a Housing Association, in a former Victorian House (large) that was converted into 8 flats in 1985..
However, there are modern developments too here in Portsmouth of the same type, but bigger complexes..and of modern build.
Hope this helps!

Note from asker:
| Hi Liz Thanks for your creative answer. :-) The only problem is, it doesn't get across the ownership regime which is basically "shared freehold" as far as I can tell... any ideas on that??? |
| ah ok - so "shared ownership housing development".... does sound good! Thanks PS Like you, I have never heard condominium used in the UK - it's used a lot in the US, or "condo" - I have a friend who used to live in a condo in LA in fact... I never got round to asking him about his "ownership regime" for that property. LOL |

: Righto!! Have added my "only legal" answer so as to complement yours, which I find excellent...//Well, it's latin originated "legalese" and was made popular in the USA by real estate agencies under the abbreviation "condo", so it's more useful for lawyers

A concurrent estate or co-tenancy is a concept in property law, particularly derived from the common law of real property, which describes the various ways in which property can be owned by more than one person at a given time. If more than one person own the same property, they are referred to as co-owners, co-tenants or joint tenants. Most common law jurisdictions recognize tenancies in common and joint tenancies, and some also recognize tenancies by the entirety. Many jurisdictions refer to a joint tenancy as a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, and a few U.S. States treat the phrase joint tenancy as synonymous with a tenancy in common.
The type of ownership determines the rights of the parties to sell their interest in the property to others, to will the property to their devisees, or to sever their joint ownership of the property. Just as each of these affords a different set of rights and responsibilities to the co-owners of property, each requires a different set of conditions in order to exist.
It should be borne in mind that the law can vary from place to place, and that the following general discussion will not be applicable in its entirety to all jurisdictions.

multi-owner residential development
Sounds weird. Usually "condominio" arrangements are, as you say, in blocks of flats, not single-family units. You must be on the right track about either a) the "condominio" referring only to jointly owned common areas (like gardens and swimming pools) or b) the client using the term incorrectly. I suggest fudging if you cannot pin the client down.

condominium or commonhold
I read that condominiums are generally a block of buildings like you said, but not only so it could include a group of houses.
