I should imagine the problem stems from the walls being plastered in
hard render. As a result they can not breathe and take up variations

years ago when builders would render everything that moved. Only
solution is to rip off all the render and replace with a lighterweight
plaster.

Hmmm, that could be possible. Thing is it's only a slight problem,
not noticeable in everyday living. Just occasionally, I dig something
out from a corner of a room or cupboard, and it's covered in mould.

That more or less nails it then. We used to have mould low down in the
corners of an extension that had been rendered internally. It had 3
external walls and, which included 2 external corners. These would
have had the lowest temperatures in the room. We got rid of the
problem by selling up and moviing on!!
