I need to install a fan in my bathroom due to problems with condensation mainly over the winter months.
My initial thought was to fit an axial fan in the external wall and vent directly outside. Now I am changing my mind. I would prefer not to have to core drill a 100mm hole through the cavity wall so was considering ceiling mounting a fan and venting through the soffit via the loft. Is this a bad idea?
I then got on to thinking about noise.... Screwfix sell three fans I am now considering, each state their noise output.

Would having an inline fan in the loft be quieter for bathroom users than a ceiling mounted axial fan? Any pros or cons for the inline axial or centrifugal type. Currently I think the centrifugal inline is the way to go, but wanted a second opinion before going ahead with the install
