If i were you with these funds and have no other alternative then take that risk and through covering letter request them to kindly use current exchange rate. Sometimes risk do work.

"11. In respect of cash savings the following must be provided:
(a) Personal bank statements showing that at least the level of cash savings relied upon
in the application has been held in an account(s) in the names of the person and
their partner jointly throughout the period of 6 months prior to the date of application.
(b) A declaration by the account holder(s) of the source(s) of the cash savings."

That is directly from the guidance. If you have received any significantly large gifts, it may be worth including the original source of the funds used to provide the gift as it is a requirement the source of the funds be legal. You will definitely have to elaborate in the declaration what the source of the unspecified "previous savings" is. No specific evidence is outlined in the guidance beyond what is quoted above.

I'd consider that a large gift, yes. Per the guidance you do not have to provide proof of the source of the savings, only a declaration stating the source. I can't advise what to include beyond what the guidance says, you have to decide what you think is necessary to include to satisfy the requirements.

No property inspection will be needed because they all are related adults. For accomodation you will need title deeds, mortgage statement, council tax

Application form ask about the residents living in the property and their relationship with you. If your wife owns the property then she won't need to give you noc letter. If your wife now posses that house outright then simply title deed, council tax will be sufficient.

She owns that house and possess that house outright but the council tax comes on her father's name. If we submit that council tax it will be sufficient? Or does it have to be on her name?

She should have updated her name on council tax bill which she even can do it now. Authorities will send her a new revised bill/notification which will be sufficient.

Is it necessary doing council tax on her name for application? Can we not send her father's name council tax?

Seagul may have a reference otherwise, but I don't think it falls under the category of "necessary" though it would be a good thing to do for a number of reasons, particularly for proving you have adequate accommodation under your ownership. Honestly, it looks a bit confusing if you say you're living at a house you own but aren't on the council tax bill for.

From the Immigration Rules: "The applicant must provide evidence that there will be adequate accommodation, without recourse to public funds, for the family, including other family members who are not included in the application but who live in the same household, which the family own or occupy exclusively: accommodation will not be regarded as adequate if-
(a) it is, or will be, overcrowded; or
(b) it contravenes public health regulations."

It is up to you to provide whatever documentation you believe is necessary to show you meet all of that requirement. Title deeds, council tax, and bank statements of mortgage arrangements are just examples of evidence you could use to prove ownership/occupation. When you apply for FLR(M) in a few years you will again be asked for evidence of housing costs and joint correspondence; your wife's name on the council tax bill will help in that regard.

Council tax bill is not compulsory which I mentioned in various threads but depending on an individual circumstances it really strengthens up the accomodation evidences especially like in op's case he just have title deed which alone seems insufficient. Also I remember a case where a person couldn't get the latest landlord's noc letter but he just attached the recent joint named council tax bill which straight away worked because it confirms that they both are living there. Moreover, the latest flrm online form do ask about council tax costs (maybe that question isn't being asked for spouse visa application). But means to say that council tax does have weight and in op's case he can also attach another utility bill which comes in the name of her uk sponsor wife but still council tax bill carry more weight although not compulsory.

Thanks Seagul brother

I think you got excessive answer over your situation and you have got exactly same replies on other forum by that site members which I accidently found during Google search and I have no interest there.

[Casa]

I will only add that if your father is claiming Council tax discount as a single person occupant of the property, this would be considered as benefit fraud, which is a criminal offence.
