Default Re: the difference between cellar and basement.
Whoops, wrong never trust your intuitions where language is concerned - always check.

I just googled it and you can say "cellar flat". But a google battle showed 39,200 entries for "cellar flat" vs 738,000 for "basement flat".

So "basement flat" is clearly much more common.
