That seems to be a thing, when we were looking last year apart from the other issue with new builds they rarely seemed to have any kind of storage and no nooks/crannies for building shelves in to or whatever.

This is something the US have nailed. Even in tiny apparments in New York, there is proper storage with proper closet.
Over here they simply leave it out. Like that story where a development had garages which weren't big enough to open a car door, but yet there wasn't enough off street or on street parking for each house.

It doesn't surprise me, but loft was apparently not recommended to board over (though I'm sure it could be done) under stairs taken by the heat pump, kitchen cupboard houses the battery. Bit of an airing cupboard housing the water tank, but that was about it.

Went to view a new build yesterday, the start of a (probably) year long research mission to work out what we actually want next. Aspects very much appealed: solar panels/battery/charging point included, ground source heat pump, sprinkler system. But fuck me, where do you keep everything? The show home master bedroom didn't even have a wardrobe in it. Would require a major reform of my hoarding tendencies.
