Light renovation on early Victorian terrace.

Hi everyone! I am about to (hopefully) close a deal on an early Victorian terraced house in Bow, London. Contracts haven't been exchanged yet but I thought I would go ahead and get some advice on the work that has to be done on the house anyway.
The walls are all lined and I'd like to get them skimmed for a smoother finish. 2 of the bedrooms have laminate floors over the original wood and 2 have carpet. A further bedroom has painted original boards. I am looking to get everything stripped down to the original boards, sanded and sealed. The total area that needs work is approximately 700sqft for the floors and 1000sqft for the walls.
How much should this cost in the London area and how long should it take?
