French term or phrase: publication foncière
Home buyer's contract in Guadeloupe. Is this just a fancy term for title or land registry?

"De convention expresse le versement effectif de la totalité du prix et du montant des frais ainsi que la signature de l’acte authentique nécessaire pour la publication foncière, conditionneront le transfert du droit de propriété au profit de l’acquéreur."

agree  Tony M: Yes, well done, you have highlighted the fact that this is the ACT of doing so; I realize now that Asker's suggestion, as reproduced in my answer, is ambiguous.

Explanation:
Yes, in a word!

There is no exact equivalence between the FR and UK systems, but in essence, this is what it amounts to

df49f has raised an important point!

Of course the word 'registry' is ambiguous; here, we are talking about the ACT of registering, and so 'registration' would be safer as unambiguous
