You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions.

How does conveyancing in Y Felinheli differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Y Felinheli approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Y Felinheli typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Y Felinheli or who has acted in the same development.

We are in the middle of purchasing a property in Y Felinheli. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our mortgage valuation?
Y Felinheli conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability too much.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
