Housing state of repair and a country's manufacturing sector aren't much to do with each other. Like, at all.

  Not at all? Someone has to manufacture the parts and materials and surely they could be in the same country. Having to buy those things from another country, especially now that the UK is out of the EU is surely a more complicated thing than buying them in the country. So surely there must be some connection.
