What if I'm honestly not planning on selling? (When my dad needs more care I'll likely move back there temporarily. I might need to downsize in 30 years or so. But I feel like there are so many unknowns on that kind of timescale. )
The heating leaks out of the house and into the sky, I'm burning fossil fuels just to heat the place and cook, the ground floor is uncomfortably cold in the winter. These all seem like good reasons to do the work.
I want to do a semi-conversion to the loft - move the insulation to the roof line, board it all out. Maybe a velux. I don't have any plans for the space but it's currently unusable.

Would be interested to hear how your re-insulating project goes - am looking at a similar thing (on a fairly small scale though) here, prompted by cold temps!
Have you used a heat / insulation surveyor to see how and where you're losing heat? Have been trying to find a heating surveyor round these parts so I can see where and how we could make our place better insulated, would be interested to hear how yours goes.

That seems like a total renovation job. Wouldn't consider it myself unless I was making significant living space improvements to the house, i.e. rear extension & loft conversion. Otherwise you won't get any of the money put down towards it when you sell.
