The roof isn't breathing, the ventilation for it is blocked somehow. Either unvented upvc fascia boards have been put up or internal loft insulation has been tucked into the edges of the roof. There needs to be a clear ventilation pathway from one side of the roof to the other.

1.Check for tile slippage and missing tiles / lead flashing a guttering/water leaks 2.Lack of free air movement in loft area check for ventilation. 3.Suggest fitting a PIV in stairhead to get rid of condensation issues.
