I think they are used about equally to mean the same thing. Perhaps "attic" is used a bit more in BrE, I'm not sure.Hi there,
Any difference between the two? Is either of them preferred in BrE?
Thanks.
Had I posted before Bhaisahab I would simply have said, "No difference", but he may well be right.I think they are used about equally to mean the same thing. Perhaps "attic" is used a bit more in BrE, I'm not sure.

I do not feel, for BrE, the difference that Gilnetter notes for AmE, though this may change. In recent years, the conversion of this storage space into a living area has become popular. My feeling is that this is more often called 'loft conversion' than 'attic conversion' in BrE.
