What buyers often ask for

Solicitors' firms in England and Wales are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and most financial and insurance services need authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority (or the Prudential Regulation Authority for banks and insurers). Buyers also ask for professional indemnity insurance. Requirements vary from contract to contract: the tender documents are the final word.
