Any problems with this boiler situated in the loft for draining etc?
Anybody got any other combi boilers in a loft with no problems?

We fit them in lofts quite a lot. A good make like Vaillant shouldn't be too much risk in that. It does become a problem with cheap boilers that inexplicably go into lockout, customer gets very tired of pulling out the loft ladder to press the reset 3 times a weak.
I would also recommend that you have a pressure guage and filling loop fitted somewhere in the main house like a kitchen cupboard, old airing cupboard, somewhere like that, so you can keep an eye on pressure and top up without going up into the loft.
