Hi Simon,
If you are able to leave the vinyl down, you will save a lot of time. My vinyl was so chewed up from all the staples (gazillion) and I was concerned that it would be too uneven for the LVP. I ended up taking all the lino up. What a PIA that was. Lino came up with no problem but not the backing that was glued to the subfloor. I scraped and scraped, and scraped. Did I forget to say how much of a pain it was. Ended up using my heat gun to soften the glue. Wish I would have thought about that on the first half.
I did not glue my PVP but some do. At the end of the day, the effort was well worth the results. Can't wait to see the after pics.
