Edwardian house. Damp patches on inside of detached wall, just below ceiling lower floor. Been told a repaint of external wall could fix this. Your thoughts?

The dampness would first manifest on the exterior wall , so, if it looks bad outside , it may need repainting but if there are no indications outside , there is an other cause, window seals, leaking pipe, structural crack, defective plaster, etc
