Who is the legal owner of an abandoned building?

Question

Today I explored an abandoned sports centre. Upon whose land am I tresspassing?

Answer 1

Whoever has the deed. Your local tax office should be able to tell you who the building belongs to.

Answer 2

The bank that holds the loan

Answer 3

most likely the local councils but it could also belong to a company the only way to find out is to search the land registry (which costs money)

Answer 4

Who ever abandoned it, so the company that owned the sports centre. After a certain amount of time, if no-one claims ownership, then it becomes council property.

Answer 5

It will be the freeholder or leaseholder and possibly if it was a sports centre the local authority could own the site.  

Answer 6

Whom has abandoned it. If it is not being used it is still under someones name. After 5 years of The owner not coming forth, the council can take possesion of the building

Answer 7

You'd have to find that out thru Land Registry, contact your Council for details.
