I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in Machynlleth which will be sold. The property is unregistered at HMLR and I'm advised that some estate agents will insist that it is in place before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?

In the situation you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
