It would be nice (for buyers !) if the party wall had to be rated for

Any tips as to how you can tell if the party wall has a cavity or not
from visual inspection ? It seems to me that halls apart with cavity
party wall is the thing to look for. Or better still, no party walls.

Mine has a solid 9" brick wall between the kitchens, etc, and I'd not say
there's problems with that - although I don't sit in silence very often.

There are more noises from outside anyway.
