has someone added lots of glass fibre and blocked the vents at the eaves?
I don't think they bother these days if the roof is constructed
with a breathable membrane under the tiles.
A cul-de-sac of social houses near me included a specially
adapted house for a wheelchair-bound lady.
I think a lift was installed but she ended up almost bedbound.
A few years after being built I noticed that some vents had
been addded to the flanks of the roof, two on each side of
the ridge half way down. I guess with her living upstairs
with the heating on full blast, a lot of hot moist air must
have permeated into the loft space.
