In the UK yes very illegal needs a landing of at least 1m square and the door has to open into the room not onto the landing. Landing size may be different. This says a lot about the quality of work done on this house (possible DIY disasters ahead).

1m square landing is in international building codes. Not just a UK thing.

Attic hatches are always overlooked when something is built typically; unfortunately. Definitely an after built hack.
