How to change string 'and' in biblatex?

Question

When the reference has 2 authors I would like the citation to appear as:

Sutherland & Varnam

Also, when the bibliography is printed (at the end of the manuscript) I don't want to see any and or & before the last author - just a list with all authors.

The first question is, I guess, a duplicate of http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/68053/use-ampersand-in-citations-and-bibliography-in-biblatex? See also http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/67621/biblatex-have-and-in-the-citation-but-in-the-bibliography — Torbjørn T., Dec 18 '13 at 20:59

Combining this answer of lockstep and this answer of mine, you can add the following lines to change and to & globally

\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{%
  \ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\finalandcomma}{}%
  \addspace\&\space}

and the following lines to change and to , in the bibliography

\AtBeginBibliography{%
  \renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{%
    \ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\finalandcomma}{}%
    \addspace\addcomma\space}%
}

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Sutherland and Varnam},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Title},
}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex}

\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{%
  \ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\finalandcomma}{}%
  \addspace\&\space}

\AtBeginBibliography{%
  \renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{%
    \ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\finalandcomma}{}%
    \addspace\addcomma\space}%
}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}

Here we cite \cite{A01}.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

Output:
