do I need to transfer deeds to executors before house can be sold

[oracle39]

Does anyone know after Probate is granted, do I need to contact land registry and transfer property to executors names before the property can be sold? There has been an offer but I wasn't sure if I need to get transfer done before sale can be completed? Your assistance much appreciated.

Please see here:

If, having read that, you need the relevant forms, you can download them from here:
http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/
(Click 'Forms/publications' and then 'Forms').

If the question is "Does the executor of a deceased's estate have to transfer the property to the name of the executor before selling it" then the answer is 'no' - the executor can deal with the transfer documents with the LR, on behalf of the estate.

Many thanks buildersmate and Buenchico. I went on the Landregistry site and emailed cstomer services, you were right Buildersmate we just need to provide proof of the grant of probate . Cheers
