How else am I supposed to find out (avoiding a "suck it and see" approach anyway)

I reckon it's not, given the construction of the flat and the type of wall, but I just want a "professional" (cough) eye cast over it to confirm.

I'll be doing some time-lapse pics of me knocking through a wall and converting a cavity into an alcove once I get the ok from a builder that it's not load bearing.
I can see this image in my head now some builder scratching his head then saying "Yeah looks ok to me mate" then handing over his card for when it all goes wrong

I don't think you're allowed to mention sucking on here. Or off.

What nationality is the builder anyway?

As a temporary measure I'd suggest using a wodden board, e.g. a piece of chipboard or something just leaned up against the wall
A mate of mine did that with his new Z4 - the wood tipped over and put a dent in his car a few dasy later
