I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Histon. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Histon. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Histon conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still show up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Histon should provide you some practical advice in this regard.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Histon with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
