LOL @Freddy...
I guess I will add a little to this then
The usefulness of a loft conversion all depends on how badly you need it.
For example, if you are just after utilising the large open space in there and decide to throw some money at it to convert it properly (i.e BR) then probably not that useful.
However if you are needing an extra bedroom (i.e living in a 2 bedroom terrace house) and are unable to move, then it would be very useful if you had 2 kids of different sexes.
It would probably also not be that useful, if you was looking at the sell on value. Although that really could depend on the property converted, the area
and current market trends.

Why should it get hotter than any other part of the house in summer??
If anything mine is cooler as it's the best insulated part of my 1902 built house. Also being so high up you get an amazing breeze coming through the veluxes.

Certainly earlier loft conversions with inadequate insulation can be total sweat boxes and the opposite in the winter but if done 4 years ago it should be good spec, maybe they only did a half-arsed job?
agree mine was warm in the cold spell, my boy was up there with no heating and was fine ( no doors yet ) in the hot days best room to be.
In my case very useful could not afford to move up and liked area
