AssumingI were to purchase a freehold propertyin Stonehouse mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Stonehouse?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the disbursement for searches. A lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the sellers lawyer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be significant.

The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Stonehouse is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Stonehouse are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Stonehouse you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stonehouse may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
