Couple of questions to try and understand.
Where is the damp?
how big are the 40 % areas?
where is the damp coming from ?
is it coming from internal or external?
I assume you received a drawing with the readings on it, bay be good to scan that so people can understand the issues.
If you understand what's making it damp and change something so it isn't getting damp it will probably start to dry and the 40% readings could come back under control

It could well be just condensation from living in it over the winter. Ventilation here is the key to reduce it.
As above, you should have a diagram showing the areas and percentages of the damp areas and then you have a better chance of assessing the cause.
Of course, it could be damp getting in from outside, if so, then whether you are living long term in it or not is irrelevant.

It's worth investing a few hundred pounds and seeing a solicitor - get proper professional advice
