Indeed if you have a fixed fee conveyancing deal (I'm not sure about the UK but it seems common over here) the solicitor is probably losing money just on the administration of filling out the paperwork and then billing you that 4 pounds...

Those indemnity policies are so common that any related admin work has to be included into fixed fee conveyancing deals.
In fact I suspect that these policies are so common partly because of they save solicitors' time and efforts, not least when they are on a fixed fee: They don't spend time looking into things they just suggest indemnity policies so they are covered and move on.
