Condensation Issue

My friend has been advised to have a special unit (cost £1.700+) installed in the loft to combat the issue the house has with condensation.
The house has always had problems, he currently uses a dehumidifier, but the problem has worsened since the neighbours had an extension built.
House is about 30 years old and does not appear to have vents in the double glazing.
Any advice welcome.

    If there are no vents anywhere then there is the problem.
    ring round a couple of local window companies, window vents can be fitted fairly easily and probably only be £2-300.
    Buildings need to breath, the amount of water we put into the air from ourselves, bathrooms and cooking is unreal!
