Hi guys, purchased this property a year and a half ago. These marks have appeared in the past few days and they’re cold but hard. No wetness I can’t figure out what they are. Any suggestions?
They’re all external walls upstairs in a detached house.
Thank you very much!

Bit early in the year for condensation but that is what it looks like. Especially now you have confirmed cavity walls.
You would need lots of steam being created or drying clothes in house to get that damp spots.
Funny how they find certain areas but that's what happens.
If you are doing anything to create moisture use a dehumidifier to dry clothes or lower house humidity..
Run for 4+ hours every evening with windows shut
 
Perhaps brick ties have been bridged, but seems too many for that. Have you checked your roof and gutters as there seems to be a nasty patch on the ceiling in your first pic.
