I have inherited a leasehold flat. Transferring land registry myself.

My father passed away 2 years ago and his wife (my stepmother) died in October. The flat remains in both of their names. I am the sole beneficiary & executor, and I have probate. Held as joint tenants.
I have asked a solicitor and they want nearly £1000 to transfer the property into my name as I intend to keep the property and let it out.
I wondered if it was possible for me to do this myself with land registry rather than paying those fees and what the process is? Thanks.

Yes it is perfectly possible to do this yourself, but unless you are already an experienced landlord I would do a lot of research on the joys and pitfalls of being a landlord before transferring the property to yourself.0
