conservatory wall is plastered and painted on the inside, but showing water patches following heavy rain. Not sure why?

The first clue is that it only shows damp when it rains, it has to be rain water penetration. If the wall is VERY close to the next door property, you will need to form a flashing to the next door property to stop the rain from getting between the walls. If not, inspect the exterior for missing render or cracks
