If you're really unlucky and the house builder has cut cost corners you might have Paramount Partition walls which are basically plasterboard sandwiches separated by a cardboard honeycomb or lattice in lieu of proper studs as a load bearing mechanism.

These things are a pain in the backside to drop a cable down as you have to force your puller rod down through it. This type of wall was popular in the 70s and 80s but some builders were still using them up until recently.
