If it’s pretty straightforward there are some decent online service you can use for a DIY will. If it’s more complex, you’d be wise to use a solicitor.

We used Sue McHale at https://www.clglaw.co.uk/contact-us/. She was fantastic.

Hi Dave, this might help: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/free-cheap-wills/

We found a solicitor in EC4 through the Will Aid scheme, every November, in 2018 and at least we got it done. In the end it wasn't cheap because we were persuaded our situation was complicated. You might watch out for that. But it was efficient and the firm involved made a donation to charity. Charities may also pay for your will to be written if you plan to donate something -- but see the warnings on the (very reliable) moneysavingsexpert page.
