I am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or do I seek out a cheaper online conveyancer?

It is not completely unheard of in Didcot and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
