the intention between the brothers can be taken as - that each brother is entitled to one floor
consequent to the same the terrace rights on each floor will go with the flat
thus the terrace will be considered as exclusively attached to the flat on each floor i.e. a private terrace
if your uncles are not disputing this then they can become confirming parties in the sale deed between your father and his buyer
in this sale deed, the flat with the terrace will be sold to the buyer and since your uncles will be confirming parties, this transaction will bind them and they cannot raise any dispute or claim in future
if your uncles are disputing then even your father can claim 1/3rd undivided share in the open area on ground floor and terrace on first floor
