We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Holton le Clay

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Holton le Clay conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures set by senior management.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a property in Holton le Clay which will be sold. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that some buyers solicitors will insist that it is completed before they will proceed. What's the mechanism for this?

In the situation you refer to it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’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.
