formalise / formalize

Explanation:
Well, I suppose that you know that a VEFA contract "Vente en l’état futur d’achèvement, entails buying what is usually an appartment before the building is built.

And I suppose that you also know that "régulariser" is most often used with regard to enablling illegal immigrants to "straigten out" their illegal status.

In the context of your text, I would say...

Consequently, he expressly |demands / requires] that the undersigned notary, Maïtre +++++, [properly] formalise this sale.

OR that Maïtre +++++, the undersigned notary...

======

Termium gives ...
