You should not exchange unless you have advised to do so by your lawyer.

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel, but The Mortgage Works would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor.
