An executor can apply for probate before a property in an estate is sold and in fact it is normally the case that a grant of probate is required to authorise the sale of property in an estate so usually comes first.

Any idea how long grant of probate currently taking we are purchasing a property waiting on grant so we can exchange and complete , currently into week 8 since application was started , Apparently they were sent out a form to sign and return to probate 2 weeks ago but not sure what that would have been ?
Hi. We are currently seeing a real difference in timescales for a Grant to be issued. If it is a straightforward application which did not need to go to HMRC and without queries raised by the Probate Registry, then we are finding that we are receiving the Grant of Representation sooner than the eight week timescale given by the Probate Registry. However, if they raise a query (as it sounds like they have done here) they are taking much longer than this and it is a case of chasing them, where appropriate. Please reach out to our team directly if you have any further questions - www.brachers.co.uk/personal-law/wills-and-probate. Thank you.
Great pair of videos, thanks! Can one apply for a grant of probate before a property in the estate has been sold?
