Loft Conversion

Need a new roof, will my loft bonus room be at risk with building control

When we bought our house it was sold with a loft bonus room. The people be bought it from never converted it so it has been done some years ago. The house needed a new roof and now we are looking into replacing all the tiles and insulating it properly, we have been told we need build control as it’s over 25% of the roof. I’m worried what building control will say about the loft conversion, it will not pass regulations as the stairs are too steep and it would need a sprinkler system though the house. The house is just not worth what it would cost to convert it to building regs so I’m not sure how I would stand if building control sees it?? Any ideas how we can reroof the house and keep the loft as it is??
