Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

There is not much else in Shaw for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Shaw it shows results of numerous solicitorsin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancer for purchase transaction?

The preferential method of choosing the right conveyancer is via trusted recommendation, so ask colleagues and relatives who have acquired a property in Shaw or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Shaw differ, so it's sensible to obtain at least three quotes from different conveyancers. Dont forget to clarify that the costs are guaranteed not to to be inflated.
