Thanks. Did look at something similar and reckon it'd be possible to pull up but not sure I could put it down when I wanted to get out of the thing!
CYOA-
We had that one. Husband reckons you’d be risking fingers to let it down from above. He also pointed out there’s no legal justification for a top-operated loft ladder. Under building regs, loft ladders are ok for storage areas but you pretty much need a staircase for a habitable room. So from the manufacturer’s POV, it’s not an obvious feature to design in.

I’ve got one of these: https://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/Concertina-Loft-Ladders.html
I’ve never tried to pull it up from the loft, but I reckon it’d be possible.
