As it looks like there hasn't been much maintenance to the property.

Insulation would be good, but make sure you also add a vapour barrier (or foil tape the kingspan joints) to avoid interstitial condensation and future issues with the wall.Does this get wet, and did this mould form this summer, or is it older?
Insulating the walls always helps though - internal insulation with kingspan (or similar) boards and boarded over, or an insulated tilebacker board (marmox etc), will help reduce condensation on walls in bathrooms if the wall insulation is non-existent, or just very poor.
Hi, you cannot cure damp and mould internally. Mould is caused by water getting into the house via the exterior walls. Mould is caused by water. If you block an area inside the house, the water will simply find another spot to emerge and then you are back to square one.
The only failsafe way to stop mould coming into your home is to treat the EXTERIOR walls with a weatherproof wall coating, available from many companies across the UK.

A bit controversial for your first post in eight years!Hi, you cannot cure damp and mould internally.

anybody would think he was bias towards external wall coatings as a solution
Just wash the mould off with bleach and water. Then emulsion. Any staining that comes through, put a stain block on. You could use oil based undercoat, or Zinseer BIN 123, or a product that says stain block.
But if you don't improve the heat and ventilation, I suggest you buy loads of bleach, stain blocker and emulsion.
