Shank size will rarely be larger than 1/2" - since very few drills have
a chuck larger than 13mm.

That's the info I was looking for. Thanks.

It's unlikely I'll need to drill more than a couple of holes so was
trying to keep the cost to a minimum.

You can also get core bits from about 25mm...

But unless I'm very much mistaken, they won't drill through a cavity
wall :-)
