All of the rooms are vented and windows are regularly opened, I also use a dehumidifier occassionaly. The mould issue seems to be getting worse each year though. I'm considering getting the wall…

Hi all,
I live in a detached block house (built in 2006) and I'm having a problem with mould on most of the external walls. All of the rooms are vented and windows are regularly opened, I also use a dehumidifier occassionaly. The mould issue seems to be getting worse each year though.
I'm considering getting the wall cavities pumped and the attic reinsulated, would this address the mould problem?
Many Thanks.
