Italian term or phrase: basso completo
This is from a contract of sale of plots of land.

"Il Sig. Z assegna a X e Y in comune e indivisa fra loro due, il basso incompleto, libero di ipoteche"

Basso seems to refer to a type of land or property. But, I simply cannot find a definition in the dictionary.

Thanks for your help !

Explanation:
Hi tinawizzy

I'd leave it in Italian and give an explanation

http://www.emersionelavorononregolare.it/catania/doc/volume1...

The basso is a dwelling or a workshop in the old heart of Naples opening directly onto the street, consisting of a single small room with a toilet.
