... does the executor have the right to sell.
Executors can be held liable for losses to the estate if they act dishonestly so it would presumably not be in their issue to sell at too low a value. It is usual to get a valuation of the property for completing the Inland Revenue Affidavit so they would have an idea of its value.
Would it be possible to see if that offer is still open? As all beneficiaries refused that may simply have been a bad decision on their part. Is the house being sold to a third party or to one of the beneficiaries? Unless the will specifically states that the property is to be sold, if they all agree they could have the house transferred to all of them and not sell it. If some want it sold and others want to hold it then the ones that wish to keep it could offer to buy at the agreed price and proceed by way of deed of family arrangement.
Yes and the beneficiaries have no say. Once the executor acts in good faith and legally, he or she is the sole arbiter.
That is not the case.If the will leaves the property to a number of brothers and sisters equally as mentioned by the OP, presumably each brother and sisters name would be registered on the deeds....
They're not....
If all their names are on the deeds ...
Yes - see my previous post in this thread regarding provisos / caveats....
are you sure the executor still has the over all right to sell against the wishes of some of the beneficiary/ies?
The executor / executrix has already offered the house to the beneficiaries and none of them individually or collectively is in a position to buy it.... Once the executor acts in good faith and legally, he or she is the sole arbiter.

My understanding is that once the property is transfered to the siblings, the executor has no further involment.
... Who determins the value of the estate, if say the siblings don't agree with the executors offer ?
