Taylor Wimpy New Builds

Hi,
I have done some research through this forum and some others and have found some great information on the subject matter of this post but wanted get some questions answered from anyone who has some actual experience with buying from Taylor Wimpey (TW).
Myself and my OH are buying on the help to buy scheme after selling our previous house and wanted to know if:
1. There is any room for negotiating the sale price with TW before we pay a deposit and get a mortgage in place?
2. We have been told by another developer (Persimmon) that they would be willing to pay the SDTL and legal fees is this something TW also do as an added incentive?
3. Is there usually any room to negotiate 'extras' as part of the base deal (items such as flooring, tiling, turf, fencing for example) are TW open to this?
4. With extras/upgrades is the cost added to the final sale price of the property and therefore covered off in the mortgage cost or is this a viable option to suggest? I have seen people saying this is classed as fraud but I can't see how as certain features affect the sale price of the property.
Sorry if this has been covered off somewhere else all the forums I found were from late 2014/15 and I wanted to get an idea if anything had shifted. Any help, guidance or reality checks are greatly appreciated.
