Water coming inside double glazing

In one of the rooms in my house, serious condensation is happening inside the window. 
I have marked in the following image where I believe water is coming from.

Is it easy to fix? If so, how?

Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

It would seem that conesation along the bottom of the window is making you think water is comming in? Stop the condensation.

Is it on the inside surface, or between the panes of glass?
Improve ventilation for the former, replace the sealed unit for the latter.

Heat rises, it's always colder at the bottom. That's why any condensation usually appears thee.
You're going to need a new sealed unit, if you're lucky you may find someone who could just fit a new rubber seal.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

Sorry OP, do you mean it is on the room side of the glass (ie wipe off with finger) or between the panes of glass?
Which room?

You will get condensation with insufficient ventilation so you need to open the window every day...only needs to be for a short period of time. Maybe 15 minutes or so. Reduce sources of moisture from the air.:footie:
