a wall erected on the line between two properties and shared by both owners
A Party wall (occasionally parti-wall or parting wall) is a dividing partition between two adjoining buildings (or units) that is shared by the tenants of each residence or business. When built for this purpose, the builder will lay the wall along a property line dividing two terraced flats or row houses, so that one half of the wall's thickness lies on each property.
