Painted door ?   
At the house I am moving into soon, someone has painted a brandnew door with 
what looks like 1 coat of gloss paint without using a primer or undercoat.

How easy would it be to get the paint off and what method should I use ?

Are you wanting it to look like bare wood, or just to get some primer on 
first? If the latter, Nitromors or a blow lamp should do it. If the former, 
get it dipped professionally.

It might be easier to put a couple more coats of gloss on top.
