how bad is the lining paper? it may be hiding some serious sins beneath...

I'd use a very sharp Stanley knife to score the scraps of paper as tight to the picture rail as you can get it, then remove them. It's hard to get picture rail (technically dado rail as picture rail sits much higher on the wall to hang pictures off #pedant) off without destroying it as I would expect it to be glued and nailed / screwed.
With regards to the skirting that's pretty normal (if on the large side) and would normally be filled with caulk during decorating.

Decorating, hopefully somewhere I can save some money on renovating my flat. The lining paper was coming off but it is underneath this picture rail. So not sure if I need to try and pry the picture rail off and glue/screw it back after..
Also the skirting boards aren't in good shape. are these gaps repairable or do I need new boarding? Cheers!
