Prenuptial agreements: DIY or Solicitor?

I agree with you. If people don't want to pool their assets for the rest of their lives, what's the point in marrying?
Sadly in the OP's case it looks like the outlaws to be are calling the shots.

My fiancee and I are looking to get married in 2014. We don't have a lot but I have a property in my name that I purchased before I met him, and which my parents largely paid for to help me get onto the property ladder.

It's their money that they want to protect, and we're all completely fine with it.

I really can't afford the solicitor's fee to draw up a prenup, and was thinking of going for a DIY one instead since they're not legally binding anyway.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me or any experience?

Thanks in advance!

so the advice is to protect the property BEFORE you marry! which can be done. Prenups are NOT legal here - as you knew.
you also dont seem to trust 100% your fiance. so...........
I have another word of advice for your intended - RUN!
