Final-stage Notarized Instrument of Transfer (regd.)/Purchase Deed under Seal (unregd.)

Explanation:
First stage of a 'conveyance on sale' in the UK = exchange of private contracts under hand (cous seing prive).

Second-stage = Transfer. Authentique - duly certified or instrument under seal.

Deed of sale in the KudoZ glossaries from Peter Freckleton is a good amorphous description, though confusable with a necessarily long-form, second-stage Purchase Deed in BE that is used in UNREGISTERED conveyancing only. A short-form Transfer Document is used as the final doc. in registered conveyancing for the UK Land Registry.

Deed of conveyance

Explanation:
A "deed of conveyance", or simply a "conveyance" is the document drawn up by a solicitor which transfers an interest in real property. It is roughly the equivalent of a notarial deed in civil law jurisdictions.
Caveat: Scottish law is not the same as the rest of Britain, so this term may not apply in Scotland.
