Best way to get rid of dampness?

    I just bought a house and there is a bit of dampness in two of the bedrooms because the room isn't properly ventilated. The overall moisture levels are fine, it's just these two bed rooms.

    What is the best way to get rid of the dampness? I was going to put a de-humidiefier in the room to get rid of the damp in the corners and then drill a vent in the wall.

    Any thoughts?

    Either lateral penetration (damaged render or brickwork)/defective rainwater goods or condensation. The first two will be sorted after being corrected. The latter is a little more difficult. Putting vents in will help but you may need to insulate.

    If the rooms are unventilated, it's more than likely an internal condensation problem.
    Venting and insulating will sort out the problem in the long term, dehumidifier will sort out in the short term.
