For comparison, Canada which has a population of 40M vs Britain's 86M built 286k homes in 2021. We took in 400K immigrants and 630K non-permanent residents in 2022. Not sure if those two numbers are additive, since I presume many non-permanent residents eventually become immigrants.

The average price of a house in Canada is CAD716K vs £285K (=CAD480K) in the UK.

you made a typo, Britain's population is 68M, not 86.
