I have just viewed a 4 bed home in Gloucestershire built by Redrow in 2011. It has double glazing throughout and the frames are hard-wood frames. Alas there are no trickle filters (those filters located above the window, but within the frame that allow air to pass through). Should I be concerned re: condensation? Can trickle filters be put in by a decent workman (or even me?) at a decent price?
Trickle filters - some advice please

they are trickle ventilators. They could be retro fitted but may best be described as uncontrolled ventilation and will easily outweigh the effects of double glazing.

As the others have indicated, the ventilation to a modern home is part of the building regs, ie it must meet a certain level and may be achieved by a variety of means. While you don't know what these means are you should avoid making your own assumptions and adjustments
