Your idea.
Your next chapter.
Bring your budget and site research together in a plan you can save, refine and take forward. Start with what you know; build the details as you go.

A specific scenario
Name the plan, set the assumptions.
Changing currency relabels every amount; it does not convert money. Use one currency throughout. Changing site, locality, home type or use reopens any completed evidence notes for review.
Upfront + recurring
Enter the costs you can support.
Use your quotes or estimates. Blank means unknown. Enter zero only when you mean zero; mark a cost excluded with a reason when it is outside your plan. These starting categories are prompts, not a complete list for every project.
Amounts: 0 to 999,999,999.99, up to two decimal places, no commas. This is an undiscounted purchase-and-running-cost plan: count the full purchase cost once. Loan principal, interest schedules, inflation, resale value and tax treatment are not modeled. Add any other costs relevant to your scenario explicitly.
Your choice, from 0 to 100%. Blank means unknown. Select the upfront lines it covers; the allowance uses their known amounts only. It rounds once to the nearest cent, with half a cent rounded up.

Siting due diligence
Get clear on where your home belongs.
Work through these questions with the authorities responsible for your location. Record their answers, a source reference and the date you checked. “Evidence recorded” describes your record, not an approval.
You decide whether a source is official and applicable. Links and documents are not fetched or verified by this tool. An evidence date is your check date, not a guarantee that requirements remain current. Recheck before relying on an answer.
Keep moving, one useful step at a time.
