I've just moved into my new house and I can't find where the water

that I've anything against plumbers, just against spending money
unnecessarily!)?

Are there nearby houses of the same type and age? You could take the
opportunity to say hi to your new neighbours and ask where theirs are

That's a good start.

I have often found the stop cock under floorboards, and the best one ever
was in the landing wall behind a picture!

But the favourite bet is that it it just boxed in somewhere.
