I have black marks on my walls around my windows, the marks rub off. There is quite a bit of condensation on the windows and the sills, is it dampness?

This is not dampness but condensation. Black spot mould can only grow from condensation. The walls will eventually become damp over time but improved ventilation will cure it. Look on the Internet for a HRV150 12hour ventilation system.
