Show all the documents and other details you have to an Local Good Advocate and seek the Legal Opinion.

1. Since the Title-Ownership of Apartment & Land is in the Joint-Names, you will not be able to sell your non-demarcated & non-partitioned property to outsider party, without executing a mutual consent "Partition Deed".

2. However, you may sell your non-demarcated & non-partitioned property to Brother (joint title-owner), without executing any "Partition Deed", who as it is shall have the First Right to Refusal.

First, a Partition Deed shall be executed between you and your brother. Next, you have to sell your portion to a third person. If your brother is interested to take your portion also, then you relinquish your rights in favour of your brother.

Whether there is any documentary evidence that you are the owner of first floor of the premises? If so, show it to the buyer and sell it. Otherwise you will have to seek partition of the property.
