I don't think you would need to add the property type field. The table is the property type right? So, when you select from a given table, you can just select a string to represent the property type: SELECT sa.*, 'acr' as propertyType FROM smlc_acr sa UNION ALL SELECT sc.*, 'com' as propertyType FROM smlc_com sc etc (I only put the select * for readability in this example).
