The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

I am buying my first flat in Mevagissey with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
