Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Buckden?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
