Bus/Financial - Real Estate / legal text about a new bungalow on a development in Alicante
Spanish term or phrase: (unir o dividir) horizontal o verticalmente
"- Los propietarios de cada una de las fincas quedan expresamente facultados para unir o ***dividir éstas, bien horizontal o verticalmente***, sin necesidad de la autorización expresa de la Comunidad de Propietarios, asi como para asignar a las mismas las cuotas de participación que crean oportunas, siempre que la suma de las divididas o agrupadas sea igual a la de las fincas de que procedan."

- For "propiedad horizontal" I have "commonhold property". Now need to translate the above term.

Many thanks for all contributions.

to consolidate or split their properties along horizontal or vertical lines
Explanation:
"Propiedad horizontal" is actually referred to by some as "horizontal property". They're talking about splitting a property into flats (by floors=horizontally; by putting in a dividing wall right through the house=vertically) or combining flats to create larger homes.
