A flat can mean different things in different regions, however, pretty much everywhere it means that the entire apartment is all on one level. A loft usually means a flat open area, directly below the roof, that is open to a larger area below. Like a hay loft in a barn. Many town homes in Denver have a loft master bedroom. The upstairs is just floor and a master bath, with a half wall looking down into the family area. A loft apartment may or may not look down below, but will always be on the top floor. Usually a loft apartment will also be a studio apartment.

Apartment - A self-contained housing unit that occupies only part of a building.
Condo - a form of housing tenure. It is the legal term used in the United States and in most provinces of Canada for a type of joint ownership of real property in which portions of the property are commonly owned and other portions are individually owned.
Loft - large single room apartment on the top floor of the building. Denotes a 'commercial' or 'unfinished' quality to the space.

apartments are for rent, condos are for sale. sometimes people advertise condos for rent, though. flat is another word for a studio apartment (one room), and I think a loft is usually a studio apartment on the top floor. they are mainly just fancy words for the same thing to make it sound better on paper.
