    We have built a new house retaining some walls of a old house and the rooms which has these walls has a musty smell. Is this normal or could it be that not enough damp proofing on walls?

    Rising damp? Or a leak of some kind
    Is the vent working in the room?
    stagnant air condensing on a cold surface behind furniture?

    Did you use an Engineer at any point during the build, by any chance?
