Will Writing in Southwark

Emma, a 32-year-old marketing manager in Bermondsey, had been putting off making a will for two years. She'd just bought her first flat for £540,000—and realized that without a will, her unmarried partner wouldn't inherit anything if she died.

Local solicitors quoted her £850 for a will. She made hers online with WUHLD in 15 minutes for £99.99.

Meanwhile, 318,000 people in Southwark face the same decision. Home to Borough Market, the Shard, and rapidly gentrifying areas like Peckham, Southwark's average property prices have hit £600,000. If you die without a will, the government decides who inherits—your property, savings, even who raises your children.

This guide explains how you can create a legally binding will in Southwark for £99.99 in just 15 minutes online—no solicitor appointment needed.

Whether you're a young professional in Canary Wharf, a property investor in gentrifying Peckham, or a family raising children in Bermondsey, a will ensures your estate goes to the people you choose.

In Southwark, average property prices are £600,000—well above the UK average, reflecting the borough's gentrification and proximity to the City. Add savings, pensions, and investments, and most residents have estates worth protecting. Without a will:

Your unmarried partner inherits nothing (even if you've lived together for decades)
The government decides who raises your children
Your estate could go to distant relatives you've never met
Your family faces months of legal complications

For the 318,800 residents of Southwark—many of whom are young professionals buying their first properties or families settling in newly desirable neighborhoods—making a will isn't just for older people. It's about protecting what you've built and the people you love.

Southwark's median age is just 33 years, with 75.1% of residents of working age. This young, dynamic population is driving property values up (2.8% year-on-year growth) and building substantial assets. But youth doesn't protect against the unexpected.

UK intestacy rules are strict and often unfair. If you're unmarried and die without a will, your partner gets nothing—even if you've shared a home for years and bought property together. Your parents inherit instead. If you have children but no will, the court decides who raises them.

The solution is simple: make a will. In Southwark, you don't need an expensive solicitor or weeks of appointments. WUHLD lets you create a complete, legally binding will in 15 minutes online.

What happens if I die without a will in the UK?
