Hi
My husband and I recently had ours done through a company called Exclusively Wills - as the name suggested they just do Wills so if you are looking for a solicitor that can deal with other things, they aren't for you. However, they can store your Will if that's a facility you are looking for. We thought they were totally fine - an advisor came to our house for an hour to talk things through with us. The were very flexible about the appointment time - it could be done at the weekend or in the evening post bubster bedtime. The charge for a mirror/matching Wills was £138 (£115 + VAT). I found out about them via a flyer I had with an NCT magazine, and I think this rate was supposed to be a special NCT one. Having said this, they never asked for any proof that I actually was a member so I think the offer is open to all! One thing to mention is that I had to pay the fee at the end of the appointment with the advisor which I was a little surprised about (he has a little credit card machine so you don't need to have cash!)

Another interesting option that I have recently heard about is Will Aid. It is a partnership between the legal profession and a bunch of well known UK charities (like NSPCC, Save the Children, ageUK). Every November participating solicitors waive their fee for writing a basic Will and ask that you make a donation to Will Aid - suggested minimum donation for a mirror/matching Will is £125.
