Is the fact that my solicitor in Taverham is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Taverham conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Taverham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Taverham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Taverham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Taverham may determine 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 premises.
Am I right to be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Taverham conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to retain. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that many mortgage providers have an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
