Homemade wills are a terrible idea. If you make a mistake, or the circumstances that are in it are wrong, they can be worse than nothing. Read the disclaimer in the instructions, then tell me how confident the manufacturers are. To contrast, if an IPW member writes your will you know it will work, and if something goes wrong, they are insured.
People in the legal trade love people that do wills for themselves. When it goes wrong, they make a lot of money from their families.
While I'm on about it, there is no such thing as a free will; if it is being offered for free (or too cheap), the organisation involved will try to sell you something else either then or in the future, or may not give you enough advice. About £100 is the least a single person should expect to pay for a will, or £150 for a couple. What's that as the proportion of the value of a house?
