I'm in the U.K and seen some excellent delapalated buildings in Bradford (near rthe alhambra thetre) which could be reinervated. But have no idea who the owners would be?

Call your local council office; they should know. Whether they will tell you or not is another question. If you know an estate agent, they can usually find out.

In the U.S., we have a courthouse in each county where all important legal documents are stored. Is there a county courthouse for Bradford? If so, call them and ask where the land deeds are kept. Go to the office and give them the addresses of the properties you are interested in. They will look up the deed and can give you the name of the owner, and sometimes the contact info if they have it. In our county, this is a free service. Often, if it is in disrepair, it will be a bank-owned foreclosure. If it is bank-owned, call and give them the property address, and they will connect you with an agent who can give you more information. Good luck!

If you know (or can find out from Council or local library) the exact address of the building, you can make a Land Registry search to see if there is a registered owner - see http://www.landregisteronline.gov.uk/lro/servlet/TitleSearchServlet?searchType=advanced. You could then write to the registered owner to see if the building is for sale
This may not work in all cases as not all land is registered

In the US, we go to the county seat/ courthouse , in the county where the land in question is located, to the Assessor's office. They look up the address and find the owner.

You can request information on any buildings or land from the land registry (www.landregistry.co.uk) for £3

Isn't there some sort of office you can go to? I know here in America we can go to the clerks office and find out who owns it. There must be something like that there too!

The 'Land Registry' or local authority should be able to help.
