Is this anything to worry about?
Yes. Lack of ventilation, leak in roof, ceiling not sealed (warm air entering attic), or the builders favourite venting bathroom etc extraction fans directly into the attic. etc etc
Neil, this is your second house post.
Yes, this could point to inadequate ventilation.
Do you have disconnected vents or downlighters in the ceiling?
Did you have this house inspected by a surveyor or architect before you bought?
ONQ
I have notice my attic is wet on the inside of the roofing lining/felt below the tile, My house is 7 year old has vents in the soffits and a aluminium damp seal on the ceiling board,
Could a de-humidifier be put in to the attic during cold spells?
Same as I am seeing.
Thanks to some advice from onq here I have sorted out my water storage tank insulation. The insulation should go all the way to the floor of the attic, mine did not.
Heat was prob getting into the attic space because of this, will keep an eye on things and see if there is any improvement.
That kind of low level of heat getting into the attic would be fairly negligible I would have thought and in any case would tend to reduce condensation I would have thought.

It's cold today, as cold as the day I first noticed the droplets and there are none forming now. I'll keep an eye on it.
ONQ, I checked the rest of the attic and the foil back plasterboard covers the entire attic. Seems to be about a 3 or 4 inch vent gap around the eaves too. That's all I could see so far.
