A flat is normally an apartment or single floor condo. Obviously a house is a free standing building.

Flat means different things in different places. Here in the midwest, a flat is one unit of a two to four unit building. We use apartment to refer to a unit in a building with 5 or more units. Someplaces it means any apartment, and someplaces they don't use that term at all.

A house is usually a separate building.
What is called an apartment in the U.S. is called a flat in a UK and is usually only part of a building.
In the U.K., a flat is what is an apartment in the U.S. and is usually only part of a building.
In the U.S., a flat is an uninflated tire.
