Probate purchase

Hi, I am currently involved in purchasing a property via probate.  The Probate is granted however I am reading online that it's usual practice for the ownership of the property to be transferred to the executors at the land registry prior to the purchase and the eventual transfer into my name.  Is this correct?  As registration takes many months I am concerned that if there is an issue transferring into the executors name this could make it even longer and my mortage offer will expire.  Similarly, knowing how difficult it is to get registration (I have had issues before over very simple things meaning that registration ended up taking years), do you forsee any issues with the eventual transfer or are there things that I need to know in advance, such as extra documents (probate) that would need to be supplied to the land registry to gain successful transfer?

Hi Simon - no, the opposite is true as if probate has been granted a buyer will often rely on that plus the current register to confirm the executor can complete the sale.

Thanks - so there is no requirement to transfer into the executors name?  The property can just transfer straight from the deceased into my name?
