A growing library of UK property calculators, downloadable toolkits and plain-English guides — built by a Chartered Building Surveyor (MRICS) for homeowners, buyers and developers who want straight, useful information.
PlanScope brings together the tools and explanations homeowners actually need: budget calculators, downloadable checklists, and educational guides on the issues that come up again and again — condensation, cracking, party walls and surveys. Everything is free to use, with optional in-depth toolkits if you want to go deeper.
Stamp duty, mortgage repayments, rental yield, reinstatement cost, EPC improvements, heat pump sizing and more — covering the financial, surveying, building and energy decisions most owners face.
In-depth PDF guides on condensation & mould, crack assessment, party walls and pre-purchase viewing — each one a structured walkthrough you can keep and reuse.
Educational, awareness-focused content. No diagnosis from a distance, no scaremongering — just clear explanations of what causes what and when to bring in a professional.
Start with whichever question you're sitting with today. Each pillar is a hub that will keep expanding — more calculators, more toolkits, more articles and short videos over time.

PlanScope is built by a Chartered Building Surveyor but the content on this site is educational. It's designed to help you understand your property and ask better questions — not to replace a physical inspection or formal advice from an appropriately appointed professional.
