As this post is entitled loft conversion how to it doesn't mean that a home owner should embark on a DIY campaign to convert their own loft on the contrary I would discouraghe any woud be diyer from this.
As a retired builder I do not endorse DIY work on a project so structurally demanding as a uk loft conversion, In truth if you are reading this and have indeed, either converted your own loft space or are in the throws of doing it, then you know first had the challenge a conversion holds.

There is no doubt that a well executed loft conversion is an asset to any home owner, besides the obvious enlarging of the family living space and the quality of living that, that affords, there is a monetry gain also.
A recent report by the Nation Wide Building society suggested that in some parts of the UK a loft conversion can add as much as 23% to the value of the property.
Knowing that fact alone is enough reason for me to ask the question;
Why on earth would you even consider a DIY Loft Conversion attempt on your most valuable asset?
