I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Oakhill with 70% 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 transaction.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Oakhill?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Oakhill. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Oakhill I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Oakhill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
