Default Leaky house. Would a surveyor help?

Rising damp at the rear and both ends of the upper story have got
penetrating damp - I think. Rather than get estimates from people with
vested interests, would I be better off paying a surveyor to tell me
definitively what's wrong and, if so, how much would he cost?

Why not DIY for very little cost? Plenty of expertise here.
Be sure it's not condensation.
