Get rid of condensation at the point of origin before it condenses out on the first cold surface it encounters. Use a cooker hood vented to outside and an extractor fan for the bathroom and you have accounted for the vast majority of it.

Also check in your loft in case, for some reason, your Central heating system has started 'pumping over'.
If you have an electric immersion heater check that it is not over heating thus causing the water in it's header tank to get hot or even boil. If you cannot stand to hold your hand under the hot tap, as a rule of thumb, it is too hot, at or over 60C unless you have set it this hot on purpose.
While you are up there it never hurts to check the status of any warning pipes. Some are only push fit systems and I have seen some drip a little water inside from a loose joint before expelling the majority outside.

Otherwise

Blocked/leaking guttering and/or blocked/leaking downpipes need checking as does any problems with slipped or broken tiles/slates.
