Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since A built his house in the middle of the property, presumably before the partition and without the intention of infringing on anyone's share, he can be considered a builder in good faith. Therefore, B has the option to either sell his share of the land to A or appropriate the improvements made by A, with the obligation to compensate A for the value of the improvements or the increase in value they bring to the property.
