Hi All
I have a house with a loft conversion built (before we moved) in 1998. The conversion has a certificate of regularisation, but doesn't have features you would expect to see in a loft conversion used as a habitable space. For example, the stairs go straight up into the room and there is no door.
We bought the property recently as a 2 bed house. This loft conversion would make the property a 3 bed house. I would like to use the space as a guest bedroom. My question is, can this space be used as a bedroom or is it simply a non-habitable space with a certificate of regularisation? Should I be insuring my property as a 3 bed house?
Thanks
