I'll just complicate some things :)

New build properties are refered to as appartment blocks, estate agets
don't like to advertise "flats" these days. So in my mind, an apartment
is a new place, a flat is a traditional or older place. 

A loft to me is almost a proper room. Usually not quite up to building
regs. (building regulations, or 'code'), but good enough. An attic it
really just the roof space you fill with junk, has cables from your
lighting circuit spread about, lots of protruding nails to cut your
head open, and glass fiber insulation to make your hand itch.

I live in a flat built in about 1880 from 12" wide granite blocks. I'm
on the ground floor (note: not the 1st, thats upstairs) so don't have
an attic.... or a basement unfortunitely.
