Mortgage offer extension query

Options
Hi guys hope you can help, 

We've been told by our solicitor we should get our mortgage advisor to get an extension on our current mortgage offer as there's a chance it could expire before completion.

I've put this question to our advisor and he's come back saying it can get be extended but would need to be a new product and a new interest rate..

Is this correct? I thought extensions on new builds would be fairly common. We haven't exchanged yet and completion isn't until September. Any help would be great! 

Mortgage is with NatWest

    NatWest permits two three months extensions without a change of product. Here is the newbuild offer extension request;-

    Note, you cannot request an extension until within 30 days of expiry.

    Your advisor is confusing NatWest with Santander or Halifax who do require a change of product.
