I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online property lawyer?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Earlsfield is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
