I have been told by my conveyancer that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Accrington?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Is it the case that all Accrington solicitor firms on the Principality conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

My wife and I are in the process of viewing flats in Accrington and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Coventry BS.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My wife and I own a terraced Georgian house in Accrington. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Accrington 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 lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Accrington.
