If you have floated a solid wood floor, that’s part of your problem, the fact you still have old vinyl down underneath sets off even more alarm bells regarding poor prep and the floor not being fitted to spec.

He said it makes no difference if only adding extra cushioning. I can't see what harm it would do. Besides it would be sitting on cold concrete if you took the lino away. There is Wood Fibre Laminate and Wood Flooring Underlay over he lino anyway.
Firstly, you should never float a solid wood floor.
Secondly, Sheet vinyl is cushion floor with a bounce to it, no wood flooring should be fitted on a bouncy underlay.
And that's before potential mositure issues that may be present in the subfloor assuming it has'nt been tested (as there is sheet vinyl down that has'nt been lifted.)
Were these people that fitted the floor builders? handymen? or professional floor layers? (serious question)
