Chimney Breast Areas are Extremely Damp in 1890's Flat Conversion

1890s building, maisonette style "flat conversion". Chimney breast areas are extremely damp. If I run my hand over the wallpaper, my hand is actually wet. Surveyor chap says "put air vent bricks in". (Presumably he meant indoors.) I think the stack is capped, with one air brick o...
