If you do your research (building regs) maybe sketch out what you are having done and take progress photos I think this would be a benefit but undoubtedly it won't add as much value as an official build.
I viewed a house with a converted attic once and they'd just boarded the ceiling joists and they had two teenage boys living up there! I could feel feel the floor deflect walking round!
I would look at what is involved it converting the attic officially (self closing doors/open plan/sprinklers/access/etc and see if that's the route you want to go down. Otherwise you could get a builder to add the new floor joists/beams/rooflights and do the rest yourself?
