if the sister refuses to move out.. then when the new owners try to move in and find her there, can they call the police ? or will they need a court order ?0

This is more an educated guess than fact.
The mother is currently the landlord and their excluded occupier has no more rights than a visitor or guest. Failure to cooperate with a request to leave doesn't require her to take legal action.
If the property transfers to a new owner, and the sister is still living there, then I think the new owner is obliged to take them to court if they do not leave. I'm guessing they are treated as a squatter. Also, the mother can get sued for failing to hand over the property with vacant possession and pay the legal expenses associated with this.0 -
As the OP has not yet been able to respond to ANY of the suggestions/questions raised after her second post many hours ago I reckon we all need to calm down and let her come back to us with more info (or not as the case maybe).................0

It is fairly normal. The buyer's solicitor will insist on it as part of a 'due diligence' type of process on behalf of a lender and the buyer to gain assurance that the vendor will give vacant possessionJust to double check, is it the mother who has to sign to say the property will be handed over with vacant possession, or the sister?
I don't know the conveyancing process in any great detail but it seems a bit odd to me that someone who is not the owner of the property, and not occupying it exclusively as a tenant, gets any kind of say on a legal document of this type.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
