Look outside for evenly spread holes which may indicate damp proof injection or if plinth is in place it should  terminate on damp proof course may have air bricks as well

Get a specialist to carryout some tests 
The possibility is if your house is old it may have had a dpc at some point

Hello,

Generally you have a damp proof course and a damp proof membrane, a damp proof course depends on the structure of your floor and will generally sit beneath your ground floor structure, a damp proof member generally sits above floor level, ie bitumen, a latex solution or a screed.

You can usually tell by the outside of the building, if you look along the bottom of the property you should see a black band between the course of bricks this is the damp course
