I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Kidwelly with 60% LTV. 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.

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears.
