I appreciate that ventilation is key - but it's cold! If it was summer, I could simply open everything for a few months. But I can't, we still need to be able to live in it as comfortably as possible. I've happy to shut some areas off (worst affect ones) and use a dehumidifier. Can't really...

I'm just looking for the quickest way to dry everything out - will be fixing all the issue causing the damp.

Move in tomorrow! All central heating, highly likely that there's water under the floor boards and all extractors are broken - for a while by the looks of it. Looking forward to it...
