Best wall sealer for bare walls?

1000028364.jpg

1000028365.jpgSo back in 2013 I had my new house painted. The guy who painted was a "professional" (hardly) and he said he had sealed the walls which he obviously didnt as you can see by the photos, 90% of my walls i can just peel huge chunks of paint off.

So ive been scrapping and peeling back to the bare walls (I live in Perth so the walls are brick with plaster set over top)and then applying a skim coat on the places my scrapper has taken bits of plaster away.

So once the bits of skim coat plaster has been sanded back smooth, whats a good sealer primer to use? 

I really wanted to use oil based but i have indoor animals that ive read it can be harmful for them to breath in, plus oil based takes longer to dry and dont want my animals hair getting stuck on the walls while it dries.  So i guess water based is what i need to use, but which one? Any info would be appreciated
