When should CGT be paid?

If I remember rightly the probate valuation was taken around 18 months before the house sold.

Is it possible then that this has triggered something with HMRC?
Even if that was the case I’d have expected the solicitors to have told us this was happening

Were you joint executors?

No. The solicitors are sole executors. 
We’ve heard nothing from them since last August so asked for an update 
They ignored my email but did reply to my daughter several weeks later giving the 8-12 weeks timescale
