I'm in quite a jumble with this sentence below. Any help to make sense of it or give some advice regarding my suggestions so far would be very much appreciated. Here is the full clause:
"Si, consécutivement aux insertions légales - il survient, sur le prix de la présente, des oppositions ou si l'état requis au Greffe du Tribunal dont dépend la Cédante révélait l'existence d'inscription de vendeurs ou de créanciers nantis, cette dernière serait tenue d'en rapporter - à ses frais - la mainlevée et le certificat dans le mois de la dénonciation amiable qui lui en sera faite, au domicile ci-après élu."
What I have so far:
"If, subsequent to the legal formalities, objections are raised with regard to the price of the assignment, or if the required statement to the Court Registry responsible for the Assignor were to reveal the existence of registered sellers or secured creditors, the latter would be obliged to report, at his own expense, [la mainlevée] and [le certificat] in the month of the amiable denunciation made against him in this regard, to the domicile elected hereinafter."

Some help for your translation:
être tenu de be obliged to, be bound to; see in Proz:

rapporter la mainlevée provide release; see MatthewLaSon's explanation in Proz:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/law:_contracts/2...
But there are some other issues that need attention. Note especially that "cette dernière" is feminine and singular; "the latter" – which, as written in your proposed translation, refers to "registered sellers" (both masculine and plural in the French) – won't do.

Discussion
Also a difference in the rules regarding the use of ""cette dernière" and "the latter". In English you generally have the latter referring to a noun which is much closer to it in the sentence than it is here. Technically speaking, it is the last mentionned noun in the sentence working backwards. In French, the issu is a litle different and the feminine noun makes it clear. The patchwork of semi-clauses works less well in English than in French here! You might think about repeated the "Assignor".
