No problem. Are you screeding over it? Sticky tape on the joints, and then the weight sorts everything out. -
I have a "tool" for scouring wall paper - would that be good enough to prepare the painted surface as you suggest? To be fair to the previous owner, you can't scrape the paint off. As a painted surface it is perfectly OK - it is just the paint has been applied to a bodged plastering job. -
The problem with this is step 1, knowing your heat loss. Heat loss surveys are not always accurate and can be wildly inaccurate, so whilst they are a starting point it's unlikely this alone gives the optimum curve. If it aint broke don't fix it does of course apply but the lowest possible flow temperature will give you the highest efficiency (roughly 2-3% change in efficiency per degree, which can soon mount up.). @JohnMo suggests an iterative approach based on experiment, which is the only one I can see can possibly work, unless your heat pump features auto adaption or you have a third party ft optimiser such homely. Whether it's worthwhile depends on how much you want to chase efficiency. -

If your worried about plaster sicking to the paint then scrape it off or score it lots,
