Common loft faults here
About a third of homes here are semi-detached (37%). Boxes stacked on thin insulation for years is the usual story in those lofts.
Terraced houses are 22% of the housing. In small terrace lofts the eaves get stuffed with insulation, air stops moving and condensation follows. Clearing the eaves usually fixes it.
Flats are 33% of homes here. If damp is coming through your top-floor ceiling, the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree to work in the loft above.
If you can get into the loft, look out for boxes sitting straight on the insulation, drips on nails on frosty mornings or droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation. Spot two or more and something is probably wrong.
