Abstract

This report provides a systematic review of the international evidence on the relationship between immigration and housing, with the aim of informing the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) about the impact of immigration on housing costs in the UK. It addresses three questions: (i) how large the effects of immigration on housing costs (house prices and rents) are; (ii) under what conditions these effects arise; and (iii) how relevant international evidence is for the UK context.
