been told by who?

Solicitor should be able to provide an indemnity policy to cover the eventuality of Railtrack or whoever taking action in the future.

So your mum has found a buyer? And they've appointed a solicitor? And a surveyor? But your mum is handling the sale herself? Unless she understands conveyancing better than you, I'd advise against this. Appoint a solicitor!

Use a recommendation or trot into town to the local firm and ask for a quote.

there is no legal issue, so ignore and tell the buyers to use their common sense and move on

Who drew up the paperwork? If you or your mum is doing the 'paperwork' then as I said above, I'd strongly advise you take legal advice.

Which of course would include, but not exclusively, advising on the pipe in question.
