I think if you look at the Nominet Site, buried in there is a note that you can record an interest in a name that lapses with a view to doing what you want. If it wasn't there, then try www.namesco.co.uk - I've used them for some registrations. I know I saw it somewhere!!

But since it is renewable every two years and the existing owner has had it for six - you might be lucky!! Seems they don't want someone (your client?) to get hold of it!!

Hello list,

We have a client who wants to try and grab a domain which is currently
registered but due to expire this weekend (it's a .org.uk, FWIW).

There isn't a website or any other sign of life there at the moment, and as it
was originally registered six years ago we're hopeful that the owner has given
up on it and is planning to let it lapse.

Assuming it doesn't get re-registered this week, has anyone got any info on how
we could best get our hands on it? Is there a grace period where the existing
owner gets first refusal, or can we just register it on Monday morning like any
other domain?

Any tips/advice welcome,

Thanks,
Jon
