When can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Poppleton and Bishopthorpe and do I need to be at the solicitors office?

The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Co-operative Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Poppleton and Bishopthorpe?

The first thing to point out is that, 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.
