When you come to sell, if you haven't gained any sort of BC certification you would re-sheet the ceiling, create a loft access opening and replace the cool ladder with a loft ladder. Job done, if your lender isn't concerned and the value is in line with your offer just get on with it. you can always put a train set in the loft area like thousands of others.0

My old loft definitely didn't comply with building regs hence knocking it down and rebuilding it which cost a small fortune. I had to lower the ceilings on the floor below to make it compliant plus put in new stairs and a door. I did however check with an estate agent first, who advised that doing the work would add the same value onto the house so decided it was worth it. And it has been as the room is amazing.0
