There is a .co.uk name that I want (I've had the .com version for nearly 7 years now).
I would even be prepared to pay a small amount for it, but on whois.domaintools.com/ only a business name is shown (DOTCOMBIZ-AU) and an Australian address. There is no email address or telephone number.
It is also interesting to note that "Registrant type: Non-UK Individual". I was under the impression that for a .co.uk you had to be UK based (which I and my business - if you could call it that - are).
Also note that nothing is hosted on the domain, browsers simply return a page not found.
Is there anything I can do to try and obtain this domain? Or is there at least any way to contact the owner?
Thank you for your help.
Jonathan

Your first step would be to contact the current registrant. If you feel that they have breached Nominet's terms for use of a UK domain, then you can use the dispute resolution service to settle issues over ownership of the domain. The Nominet site is uite good, and even explains rights over domains too
