Why would I instruct a Harbury conveyancing solicitors firm given that online conveyancers are easier on the wallet?

We are soon to exchange buying a property in Harbury but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Lloyds are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Lloyds approved list is duty bound to advise Lloyds of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to notify the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Harbury.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Harbury?
You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to ask if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Harbury.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Harbury is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Harbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Harbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harbury may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
