Selling conveyance question.

[Yacka]

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.

Anyone?

The previous buyers can try to sell their searches - the EA is probably the best point if contact. Depends how much time has passed and whether the current buyers' solicitor thinks they are acceptable.

Ok I hadn't realised they could purchase the info. I will ask the EA about this.
Many thanks for advice.

Yes this happened to us when we were selling and the prospective purchasers dropped out our new purchasers bought their searches . It was all within a few weeks though.

Thank you last searches were late October so not sure if that would be Ok?

Sorry I don't know the time scales best to get in touch with your solicitor

I think it's 3 months

Thank you. All helpful replies

There is little that your solicitor does when selling- it's mostly responding to enquiries raised as a result of searches.

Your lawyer has your response to earlier enquiries. It will save them time if they don't have to contact you to get their replies, but the searches are all raised and done by the buyers solicitor, so it won't impact you.

Ah ok that make sense of what I saw online. Thank you.
