But in this case it is the buyers solicitor who is demanding the
insurance - not the sellers solicitor.

Beause he wants his backside covered as well!

Well yes, he would not be serving his clients interests if he did not
draw these things to their attention and suggest this course of action
to them. Of course he would leave himself open to action if he didn't.

But it doesn't offer them (solicitors or buyers) any general protection
against us being 'economical with the truth'. As I understand it the
indemnity policy is limited to covering the specific risks outlined
