More likely the supply is on the same outlet, and this has poor connections. Use the welder on a different circuit, and if this does not cause interference then you need to check the circuit the lights and UPS is plugged into. There likely is a poor socket ( very likely with the Attic socket system, it easily loses tension in the sockets from age, use and overloads) on the supply, or the supply itself has high impedance connections there. As you do live in a complex it likely is they skimped on cable size, and it might be poorly sized to run the 16A load of the MIG welder or the connections to the breakers might be loose or arcing. time to call an electrician to inspect the system, and verify it is still compliant with regulations.
