Plug it into an outlet from the other part of the condo on a different breaker.

or spend lots of money to have the loft rewired. (the best and safest thing to do)

Just be sure to watch the extension cord. make sure it's not getting to hot. Don't leave the unit on if your not there.

If your condo burns down blame it on Gabbo, not me.

That's what I would do and then I would run a new line just for the ac to the breaker box. Or, you could have an electrician do it for you.
