Conveyancing solicitor

Hi can anyone advise.
My dad and step mum passed last year and the house is being sold by my relatives (as per will). We had a buyer and they dropped out due to some work needing doing and even tho we would negotiate they said no. (Nothing major think they had other issues) .
As far as I know all conveyance on our side was done and searches and land registry etc. Now we have another buyer, my question is will all this info be saved by our solicitor to save time or is it their solicitors that have to start a complete fresh on searches. I tried to Google who was responsible for what but I can see sellers provide a pack and the buyers go over it in depth etc.
Mainly as I know there is no chain from then or us. I'm just hoping it's a small time scale

Sorry for your loss Thanks

Unfortunately, any new buyer will have to conduct all searches again. We are in a similar situation, lost our buyer the day we were due to exchange - new buyer having to start from scratch.

Ok thank you.
I just wasn't sure what our solicitor actually has to do. Such a complex process.
Hope your sale is smooth this time.

Sometimes the new solicitor is willing to buy the local search from the old solicitor.
