Can my brother renovate our late mother's house already?!

[Saoirse]

Sorry, I'm new and I posted this in the wrong area previously... Myself and my brother are joint executors of our late mother's will and joint beneficiaries of her house. We have had the house valued, and probate has been granted and I have agreed that he can buy the house to move into but he is already renovating it and we haven't even told the land registry that it will now be in our names, never mind him not having brought my half from me yet! I am also concerned that, as he has to sell his own house before he can move in, he is altering the value of the house before it's even his. How much is he entitled to do at this early stage? How will the house be valued when he has a buyer for his own home and is ready to buy off me? Thank you for any help!
