Easyboard or external insulation?

As an alternative to externally insulating how does it compare? My house is already dry lined (about 30 years ago when built) but I'm concerned about mould (dreaded cavity block construction) and the efficiency of the old dry lining so am considering either replacing the current dry lining with this stuff or getting it…

As an alternative to externally insulating how does it compare?

My house is already dry lined (about 30 years ago when built) but I'm concerned about mould (dreaded cavity block construction) and the efficiency of the old dry lining so am considering either replacing the current dry lining with this stuff or getting it externally insulated which is very expensive. My house is a small bungalow so needs wrapping all four sides.

If this is far cheaper than externally insulating and wont encourage mould, which I suspect may be behind some of my walls (one of the room rooms has a slightly musty smell but has no visible signs of mould), then I'd go for it as it probably wont take up much more space than the current dry lining does anyhow.

Any advice?, thanks.
