What is under the existing stuff. An edition of home under the hammer
(BBC1) viewed a property where laminate had been laid on top of carpet.

The existing laminate has underlay on a solid concrete floor. The reason for wanting new laminate is it has a few joint end gaps and the colour is unattractive, so mainly cosmetic (to sell the house).

There's nothing wrong with putting lam on lam. There would be no reason for a 2nd layer of underlay. But it will get you into added hassle with skirting board & door bottom heights. Easier normally to remove existing laminate before laying new. Freecycle or similar would probably take all the old stuff away.
