Permanently redirect the old URLs to the new ones to let GoogleBot know whats up. The will also ensure that existing SERP traffic is not lost in the interim whilst the new pages are waiting to be indexed.
Important that you look at how the current website is performing (Analytics) so you can work out how to tackle the move.

sorry i am already lost , paz the url is the website address , i was meaning keeping the existing website address and redoing the site , ( this is just a learning question for me) but because i had just purchased the site , i was intending to make it better , so same site address , but site is redone
So if its the same site i could not redirect the old url because it the same site , am i making sense
I guess i am saying if i was selling a name , i could say its already indexed by google (even if a crappy site)
So perhaps question should be , is there a benefit to selling a name with an indexed site ?

If you change the structure of the website, i.e URLs
domain.com.au/sample_1234.html
301 redirect to
domain.com.au/seo-friendly-sample/
Then you will want to redirect the old URL to the new URL. That way traffic and PR will be passed from the old page to the new page.
If the site is indexed and recieves good traffic, has PageRank/backlinks then yes there is benefit.
