In a contract about a property. Literally, it means 'sale by auction of a built property without ceasing joint possession', but is there a precise phrase in English for this?

public auction sale of a developed property without terminating the joint ownership

Licitation: sale by public auction of immovables/land unamenable to (FHS Bridge) partition between the various owners. So a way of keeping the joint ownership intact.

Legalistically, but not enough room for this expanded answer:

without (AmE) partitioning of vs (BrE) 'severance of the joint tenancy' (title) e.g. by death or divorce from common ownership of joint tenants to separate title of 'tenants-in-common'- so the land (personal or real) devolves down the separate owners' line and does not pass automatically to the survivor.

Thanks for your concurrence with me in a 'foreshortened' answer.
agree AllegroTrans : without termination of the joint ownership// yep, best to avoid "joint tenancy" altogether as it does not equate to "ownership" throughout the EN-spkg world asfaik

Yes. In deference to you (and Wordwatcher), no 'severing a joint tenancy' (in law or in Equity).
