Haggling on a new build?

Hi
I have made a speculative offer today on a new build property and they dropped the asking price by £30,000 around 14%, which I am currently thinking about
Is it worth asking them about paying the stamp duty and including carpets,flooring in the sale if we sign in the next few days. As realistically we would need this extra incentive to go ahead with the deal financially. It's also the last house type they have left for sale.
If so any advice on the best way to approach this?
