Private sale - any need for a solicitor (as a seller)?

[Arts]

Following the death of our mother, her house is to be sold in a private sale to my sibling. They will buy the house by taking it partly as their share of inheritance value and also putting in a sum of money.

Q's: As a Seller (I am the Executor, selling on behalf of the estate), is there actually a need for me to instruct a solicitor if I'm happy with the contract drawn up by my sibling's solicitor? (If they have a solicitor as the buyer)
Can I deal directly with my sibling's solicitor and how should I go about asking him this?
Are there any risks?

Background: This was the family home for decades and my sibling knows it better than a surveyor so doesn't propose that a survey is needed. We already hold the deeds of the house. There is no mortgage outstanding. (Nb. the house has been valued by RICS and estate agents, all inheritance tax has been paid, probate granted etc. using a solicitor so there's nothing outstanding there.)

Please ask me any questions or tell me what I've missed!

Thank you!

What you say suggests that there may be no need for a contract, and that it should be possible to proceed directly to a transfer of the property.

Have you seen the Land Registry title document? Are there any covenants that will need to be provided for, and/or any charges that will need to be paid off?

Hi Atticus,

Apologies that this post is so delayed, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you for responding to my question. It really helped us to make progress. We are now at the stage of filling in TR1 forms etc. and it feels more achievable now. Thank you!
