How do you know what the cause is? You may well be right, or it may be a
contributory factor, but don't pre-judge the issue. You are unlikely to
suffer condensation if the heating operates morning and evening, and the
damp may be coming through the walls from outside. Is it worse on one side
of the house or the same all over?
what with double glazing which has no vents or night latch,
draughtproofing and oil as the only heat source, the place is vacuum
packed!
If the place were that tightly sealed, your heating bills shouldn't be high.
I think for starters you need to find out where you're losing all this heat.
Is the loft/roof insulated?
