If a property was listed as two bed, with the second bedroom being in a loft conversion, but (unbeknownst to those partaking in purchasing it at the time) not built to fire safety regulation, (the room needing a partition, ie. wall, door, to prevent fire getting inside) the property is basically a one bed with loft space? Anyone know of these matters or rules regulations regarding bedrooms in lofts?

Yes, well established rule.

The soliton should have discovered and highlighted this discrepancy to the purchaser.

The solicitor? If the property was listed by the EA as a two bed, then further down the line the issue brought up, and the buyer pulled out, would the EA be held responsible for reimbursing any initial costs (searches, surveys etc) the buyer paid?
