Completion
Explanation:
Though the process involved may not be exactly the same in the French and English legal systems, it is clear that the 'reiteration par acte authentique' is the moment at which the 'promesse de vente' becomes an actual sale. Therefore I would think that 'completion' is a legitimate translation.

The reference already mentioned explains the reason for the use of 'reiteration', it is actually a repeating in a definitive form of undertakings given in the various forms of 'pre-contract' (avant-contrats).

réitérer/répéter


Explanation:
I don't think this means complete. I suggest that it is 'répéter le contract', to do it again.

agree  5Q: Yes, but 'renew' would only make sense for renting, not buying a house. Hopefully, when buying a house, you sign one contract once and for all, there should be no need to renew.
