Good access such as a retractable staircase-type ladder, good lighting, full insulation (which it probably has anyway) , and full boarding.
Ooh what a luxury (and challenge) is an empty loft! smile

I am moving to a new build house with a loft. I haven`t had a loft for 17 years, the previous loft was in the family home and was full of stuff just in case the children might want things. They never did

So I have this house with not much storage and a big loft hatch. I cannot shimmy in and out of lofts, so what should I do? Ignore the loft, pretend it is not there, or get good access to it, get it boarded and use it

Access would be key, so what loft access is easy to use and safe?
