o.uk...
bought a 1950's ex-council house

it's just about liveable-in

so, where to start?

central heating, electrics, or the damp patches I just noticed at
the base
of the sitting room walls

The absolutely FIRST thing is to check the condition of the roof and
gutters. Until they are sound anything else is potentially wasted.
Good tight roof over your head and everything else can be done at
leisure, but when water drips through ......well you see the point I'm
sure.
