If you have planning permission for this conversion and it won't comply with building regulations because of the roof height you will have a legal problem on a resale. If you just floored the attic and called it a storage room you could get a certificate of exemption to cover the work, if work is exempt from planning it is exempt from building regulations if it needs planning it needs building regs. If you sell the purchasers solicitor will look for certs for planning and Building regs, if you can't produce a building regs cert your buyer wont be able to get a mortgage on the house,
what are the fire regulations - does the stairs leading up to the attic have to be a specific width etc?
