Damp

Went and had a look at a job today see pictures below. Whilst I think that condensation is adding to the problem, I think the real problem is being caused by an overflowing gutter. Unfortunately, I did not have a ladder with me so could not take pictures from height, but could see a buildup of leaves. All damp seen is on outside wall.
I will first clear the gutters, leave walls to dry out. My question is, if I treat the fungus with diluted bleach, and then cover with a damp proof paint, would I apply this to the wall as is or should I remove the painted lining paper first, treat the affected areas and then repaper and paint.
All and any advice appreciated.

I don't know about the decorating but from the pictures the guttering looks very high, (tight up against the tiles) any leaves in there could push the water behind the fascia board.

Is there something wierd about the valley in this photo?
Is it very shallow or just the photo? Worth a close look to see if it's all ok.
TV aerial doesn't look very happy either
