A small change in expected sale price can materially change the onward deposit and new mortgage requirement.
Do not accidentally treat tax, legal, survey and moving money as available mortgage deposit.

Mortgage timing, sale proceeds and completion dates can move. Keep some flexibility rather than planning to the last pound.
You can keep exploring privately, or involve a suitable mortgage professional when the sale and purchase numbers are ready for a real affordability review.
