For 4K, go for the largest TV you can, even if you initially think it'll be too big.

Problem is it sits in a small alcove where 43 inch would be the absolute maximum. Otherwise a major re-think of the whole room layout is needed with lots of knock on effects.....

I have no idea as I don't have a 4K TV. Somebody told me there was a 4k test channel on Freeview but they may well be wrong.

Only 4K on terrestrial is via internet via BT TV Youview. There are FTA UHD demo channel(s) on satellite.

There are plenty of cheap table top alternatives for the stand that comes with a TV.

Floor standing cantilever if wall mounted is not an option.

Our 55 Oled struggles with some SD sources,
Most HD look great.
BBC 4k HDR streams outstanding(but still not enough)

As I said on a small TV you are looking for better contrast(HDR) and colour gaumut
The other thing is the HDR inputs support if you want some future proofing.

I think everyone is referring to the 4K from the BBC via iPlayer.

Any major brand of TV but it MUST be OLED.

OP wants a 43" TV. Smallest OLED is currently 55" with 48" due out next year!

Why not just find the 43in TV that you want and then spend £20-£40 on a stand that screws into the back using a VESA mount.
Just google "tv bracket stand" and check the footprint and VESA size. Typical footprints are 40cm x 26cm. example:
