This is 'sometime in the future' thinking - but has anyone done a loft conversion which is like posh boarding out with insulation in the rafters, ceiling and floor added, but no rooms? That's what I'd like to do - with 1 opening rooflight and an electrical socket or two. Maybe no fixed stair (so it doesn't become a 'habitable room'). Basically to make it a warm controlled space instead of a cold draughty space.
I was literally about to ask the same thing! 3-bed semi with a young child that will need their own room in a year or so. Not in a position to buy somewhere bigger as wife has cut work hours massively, but have a decent amount of savings. Would be happy to give it a go myself, with the exception of the roof light and electrics...

I did this several years ago which probably cost less than 5k but that was pre children. Currently selling that house (been renting it out) but can't market it as a habitable room.
It was done 'properly' with beams between party walls and new floor joists between the beams. -
I guess the big issue is getting the steels in. That's going to take some fairly substantial work regardless of the rest.
