Wood tends to rot in the UK, unless it's oak, which is almost - but not entirely - indestructible.
Brick is very popular because there's plenty of clay in the south and parts of the north, and it's relatively cheap and robust.
But it's usually used for smaller houses. There are some pre-WWII brick apartment blocks, but modern apartments tend to use the international standard concrete core and curtain wall approach.
