Hi Gerard
I think someone is taking you for a ride with those figures. Perhaps your circumstances are differrent to the average man in the street but I don't think you will be charged much more than we paid with a highly recommended notary in Almoradi. We did our wills a few years back with this notary:-

Email:- copias@notariaperezjuan
Tel. 965701121
He speaks excellent English, and his receptionist too, both very amiable.
The fee for this incl many emails with our chosen bequests etc, drawing up the will and an appointment to sign it was 57€ each. Inflation maybe a little more now but its under 5years ago so not that much more. He has been recommended by many.
Like Spain, a new will has to be drawn up if you wish to add or amend anything in the UK, as we did that too same time, but we got those free as we are leaving majority of our assets to charity so we used the "free wills month", October then.
We had a long journey from Villena but was worth it, hopefully you are nearer and it's only 1 journey.
Regards
Pauline.
