If there is an electrical outlet, a light fixture, or a Plumbing fixture, there are going to be wires or pipes connected to them, which may be hidden inside a wall. In some cases there is a blueprint available that can show where they are, although if there have been renovations since the building was originally built, the original blueprints may no longer be a reliable guide. You can try to guess what a logical arrangement might be, but you can also delicately probe the interior of the wall by pushing in a nail, not too forcefully, and see if it is hitting anything. Of course, it can hit a wooden structural element of the wall, in addition to a pipe or a wire, so you don't necessarily know what it has hit if you encounter resistance, but at least that is a starting point, if you discover that there is something behind the plasterboard rather than just empty space. Proceed with caution; it you puncture the insulation of a wire you can get a terrible shock, and if you puncture a pipe you can cause a leak.
