Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Edwinstowe?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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 at a cost.

My wife and I are spending time looking at houses in Edwinstowe and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.

Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Edwinstowe I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Edwinstowe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
