plaster over wallpaper-any way to remove?

purply

Hi,
We are in the process of buying a house. One of the bedrooms has been plastered but its been over wallpaper-all around the room!!

Any ideas how to remove this and leave intact walls? why would anyone do that in the first place?

another job for us...
cheers

if so then no there is no option but to remove all the plaster and wallpaper and start again

strip the plastered wallpaper off and if need be you may have to skim the walls,usually plaster will only stick to woodchip paper.
