For me FLAT = low cost & low medium. Not gated. No guard. No parking per unit. U just park wherever n many double side parking...build up around 650 sq ft

APT =  medium or low medium. Gated n may have guard. Dedicated parking. No pool no gym and maybe no playground.

But I can see flat with 890 sq ft...

Apartment is the unit of your house. Condominium is the whole building (A collection of Apartments)

service apartment always about 500-1000sf, and with the ''serviced'' title, normally means they charge u higher maintenance fees for sinking la , security la, and bla bla.
but for condo, there goes another type call service serviced condo for example ''Koi Prima'' , 1000-1500sf. their similarity is = partly furnished or fully furnished.

so, for i am thinking the difference between serviced apartment and condominium.
one is the money u pay is include the furniture and u have to bear higher maint fees.

the condo, is empty house when u move in, then have common facilities like swimming pool , bbq and so forth ~ shocking.gif

Flat - not a single facility
Apartment - min swimming pool or shops
Condominium - sports facilities and clubs

What it's called is less important than the actual living circumstances there.
