Both my brother and me are beneficiary's of the will, but the house is to be transferred solely to me.

In that case then you can ignore section 10 when you fill in the AS1.

If the Land Registry disagree, they will return the form asking for that section to be completed. This will delay the transfer of title by a few weeks.

The Land Registry will not disagree. Section 10 relates to how you want to own the property where there is more than one transferee (i.e. joint owners). Section 10 actually says "The transferee is more than one person". The transferee in this case is only one person. Therefore they are not holding the property in any form of joint ownership (you cannot own property jointly with yourself) therefore section 10 does not apply.
