She also needs to be careful not to name a property by address.   She may move in the meantime, for unforseen reasons, then the gift would fail.

IANAL, but something more along the lines of "my main residential property at the time of my death".

Even that is problematic. For example, say one of the couple has died and now the other is poorly and goes into a home. Their house is sold to enable care home fees but they die soon after without updating their will  so the bulk of the house money is in a bank account , the first friend who was going to get the house misses out since it's not owned any more, and whoever was left the residuary amount gets it all. 

This was nearly the scenario with my mother's will ( except it took so long to sell her flat this didn't come to pass) and that was drawn up by a solicitor !

Thanks again-there was no mention of any residue being left to anyone and also friend realised since no mention of house contents either which she wanted to rectify. From previous comment re not my business I acknowledge this hence my not saying anything at the time they informed me of this and showed me the documents but after lates conversation where person was visiting the house and didn't seem to be a proper legal rep/solicitor I felt I couldn't ignore it as concerned something amiss esp as wording didn't seem right to me. I decided I would say what my concerns were and leave it at  that which is what I have done
