Lead generation for UK estate and letting agents
The companies most worth pitching as an estate or letting agent aren't on Rightmove, they're on Companies House. Property holding companies, buy-to-let landlords, and developers all incorporate as ltds, and Leadistry filters Companies House for the SIC codes that signal active property activity.
Why Leadistry for this use case
Target SIC codes signalling property activity
SIC 68100 (buying and selling of own real estate), 68209 (other letting), 68320 (management of real estate on a fee basis), these are the codes that flag active landlords, BTL portfolios, and property managers. Leadistry indexes every 5-digit SIC.
Find landlord ltds before they sell
BTL landlords increasingly hold properties via ltd companies for tax reasons. Filter by company age + the holding-company SIC codes and you have a list of UK landlords directly contactable through Companies House director records.
Director-direct outreach
Estate agency outreach to info@ inboxes is invisible. The director's named-personal email gets you straight to the decision-maker, typically the landlord themselves on a small portfolio.
How a search would look
Recommended SIC codes
- 68100, Buying and selling of own real estate
- 68201, Renting and operating of housing association real estate
- 68209, Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate
- 68320, Management of real estate on a fee or contract basis
Extra filters
- Incorporated 2+ years ago (active portfolios)
- Postcode prefix matches your service area
- Excludes estate agencies themselves
What each lead contains
Director name + named-personal email + registered address + LinkedIn. Particularly useful when the registered office matches a residential address, strong signal of a single-portfolio landlord.
Common questions
How do I find UK landlords by region?
Filter by SIC 68209 (other letting) plus a postcode prefix matching your area (e.g. M for Manchester, LS for Leeds). The recurring search will then surface every newly-incorporated landlord ltd in your patch.
Can I find property developers specifically?
Yes, SIC 41100 (development of building projects) is the canonical code for developers. Combine with incorporation age 0–3 years to find new entrants, or 5+ years for established players.
Is contacting landlords via Companies House data PECR-compliant?
When the contact is the corporate director (i.e. a business contact, not a private individual), yes, under PECR's B2B carve-out for legitimate-interest commercial outreach. Each lead also carries our standard suppression footer.
