Identifying timber frame construction

Thump a wall parallel to the front wall and the front door will rattle as the wooden wall will be thin and flexible and act like a drum skin.

In which case it's easier for the OP to just look for the symbol on the wall

I am looking at purchasing a 1980s terraced property but would prefer that it was brick and block construction, not timber frame.

Please can someone suggest the key points that I should use to tell the difference. I suppose that taking a power socket out would be one way, but it's a bit drastic!

Head in the loft, look at the gable end.
