Really refreshing to see someone come in with that attitude. Fair warning though: you might start out scientific and skeptical, then have an experience that shakes that perspective.
Check the Land Registry online for ownership details, then contact them directly. If it's a business property, ask to speak to the facilities manager.
Or am I building a false narrative around an old, creepy building because old buildings are inherently creepy? Honestly, this.
