What Lurks Beneath...the Wallpaper

This houseblogger has uncovered a badly damaged wall after removing the stubborn wallpaper that also took the plaster with it.

Obviously before painting or applying new wallpaper this section of the wall will have to be rebuilt, preferably using drywall, but what they should also look for are water leaks or reasons why the wall has deteriorated. Any other suggestions???

Definitely save time and money by patching first if there is no water damage.

This isn't too unusual, especially under a window. Unless the moulding is damaged, there probably isn't a water problem. It looks like they have lost a couple of keys through wear-and-tear. They could use a moisture sensor to see if they have a problem. If they are good at skim coating, they could patch the wall rather than replace it.
