IfI was to acquire a straightforward housein West Heath mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in West Heath?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it will not be meaningful.

You should phone your solicitor and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should call Skipton Building Society who may be able to assist.

I am purchasing my first flat in West Heath with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.
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.
