Insulating a 1970's Concrete construction flat

Hi,

After a lot of research on the internet I'm still none the wiser on what exactly to do about insulating my recently purchased flat and fixing the condensation issues.

Basically, I think a suspended ceilling and insulation would do the job of making the flat much warmer and would get rid of the condensation and damp problems i'm having caused by the cold ceiling meeting the warm air in the flat.
The flat itself has a lot of vents and fans which should get rid of any condensation problems but it just doesn't work properly.

So, just thought I'd ask here if people had similar problems/experiences and how they fixed it? or if any professionals here what would you advise?

Due to it being solid concrete I'd have to move all pipes and plug sockets etc which is fine. Just want to create a blank canvas and make the flat warmer. I'd probably look at trying to install throughout the whole flat, which means new kitchen and bathroom etc.

Any advice much appreciated.

Yeah thats my thoughts.
Just wondered wether that would definitely solve it and if there were other options about so thanks

Did you have damp/ Condensation problems prior to that? or purely to add insulation for warmth?

Yes top floor, with most of the external walls open to the elements too. so end of block & top floor if that makes sense.

Ok, thanks for the advice. Feel like I know what I need to do now really, only issue is finding the £.
