A unilateral notice is entered on the land register to protect an interest claimed against the owner of the Registered Title. You have no say in it.

As long as both of you are happy to be selling and the amount owed is less than the sale value, it shouldn't delay things.

It will obviously show up when a search is done by your buyer. I don't think the amount is stated though, although I may be wrong. So make sure your Solicitor is briefed to clarify the situation with the buyer's Solicitor.

Be aware that it may freak out a buyer as it's not a very well understood concept. It's usually used by loan companies where a loan is secured against the property. So do talk to your Solicitor to make sure it doesn't come as a surprise to your buyer.
