What's a gen 2 build likely to cost?

Even 'budget' builds are expensive now if: you want era correct parts. It also depends on what condition you want the bike to be in when it's finished. I bought a nice but in need of complete resto Raleigh burner last year. The complete bike was £170. The rims/spokes/hubs were rideable, but in really poor & rusted/scratched condition. I wanted the bike to have a full resto and to look
like new. Luckily i knew how much it was all going to cost. Getting the rims and hubs stripped and re-chromed, spokes zinc plated and getting my local bike shop to build and true the wheels cost well over £300. Oh, and it needed a replacement snake belly tyre too.  Luckily a friend helped me out and sold me one for a bargain price, so all in all, just for the wheels it was close on £400. You get the idea. Take your time with it - good parts do come up and for ok prices sometimes. Ask around, as many people have unwanted parts in their stashes that they would sell on to you

Depending on condition, but i would have thought around about the £900-£1000 mark would be about right

Just allocate around 95% of your budget for the frameset and throw the other 5% at the first things you see online.
