Shouldn’t hold up the sale if the registered names match the official certificate/probate. If they do then the buyer can normally rely on the paperwork to complete knowing the named executors are the people they need to be dealing with 

Is it the case that if we sell the property with the names of the deceased still on the deeds / Land Registry (my late Father and Mother) that it is the Estate selling it, rather than the Beneficiaries (my Brother and I)?

There's a difference between the Capital Gains liability (Estate vs Beneficiaries making the sale) so it's worth getting things updated if that's correct?

There is also the option of doing a deed of appropriation instead.
