Yes. You may name co-executors in your will. However, if you do so you should make certain that the two get along well and that your instructions in the will are very clear. You might consider naming an arbitrator, your attorney perhaps, if the two have a disagreement they cannot resolve.

Problems may arise if the co-executors are not of the same mind. It's unwise to choose two people who are not likely to agree and not likely to want to work well together. When the co-executors end up bickering over everything it will hold up the probating of the estate. It may also be inconvenient for two executors to sign all the documents that need to be sent out and filed. That may hold things up.

if there are two executors and they agree to sell the house that was left, but when they have someone to buy the house, one agrees to sell and the other one doesn't. What happens then?

Yes, you can have three executors. But having more than one tends to create friction and problems if they do not agree.

What happens in the UK when two executors do not agree?

When co-executors cannot agree then they each need to have their own attorney (or solicitor) and then allow the attorneys to complete the proceedings. Generally, an attorney will not allow the client to impede the process unnecessarily. Generally, the attorneys will be paid by the estate so it benefits the estate for the co-executors to act reasonably and responsibly to preserve the assets that will eventually pass to the beneficiaries.
