I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Fleetwood with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel, but HSBC would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Fleetwood.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Fleetwood property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Fleetwood I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fleetwood in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
