Where’s the profit in charging £650 for a typical conveyance taking months to complete and hours of work?

Months to complete is irrelevant as its elapsed time not actual input time. The actual number of hours required to complete is more useful.

Where’s the profit in a simple will costing £200 which will take you a minimum 2 hours to complete, probably more.

Depends on the hourly rate of the person appropriately skilled/ qualified to complete the work to determine the actual cost of task and therefore the profitability.
