If its thick crazy old nasty stuff sometimes it actually comes off quite easy.
Have a thing thats yellow, trianglular with 3 spiked balls on it, you run that around over the old paper, then squirt it with water/dish soap/can get wallpaper stripping compound if you want, the best one is sold by 'B.I.N' can't remember the product name, its pricey but it will save you your sanity.
Then get a cheap steamer, as others say, don't go crazy on the steamer, once it starts coming off it'll be easy, then use a quality scraper and thicker gloves as you'll slice yourself with old paper a lot.
Door yes, maybe later on, number of times I've bashed finished surfaces at the last minute, soul destroying.If your keeping carpets but want them to feel a bit better hire out a proper floor cleaner machine or get someone in to do them, and replace the underlay. Find most underlay looses its rubbery ness long before the carpet gives out.

Cheers for all of this!
Was going to change the two locks this weekend to start. But maybe a new door is a better shout...
Previous owners fitted a new boiler 2-3 years ago and cored out (I think without permission). Kitchen think I can get a self circulating extractor. Bathroom no idea - the bit in the middle of the stained window it the current extractor fan, so the frame is all rusted.
Neighbours all good! Did my DD before getting it.
Would you sand old wallpaper down or just remove it properly?
