Worth noticing: The rent-versus-buy tool covers more than 600 places; several calculators cite UK and US public statistical sources.

Field notes

The workflow asks for a place and the month a decision was made, then fills in historical figures that users can change. The site names different sources for different calculators, including ONS, HM Land Registry, the Bank of England, Zillow, and the S&P 500; it also cautions that a replay cannot predict what happens next or account for a user's full situation.
