UK SIC 2007 · 68320
Management of real estate on a fee or contract basis (SIC code 68320)
Property managers file here. They run buildings for the people who own them. The code covers residential block management, commercial estate management, and short-let or Airbnb management.
Division 68: Real estate activities
Real estate is one of the busiest corners of the register, and most of it is not estate agency. The dominant code is 68209, letting and operating of own or leased property. Next comes 68100, buying and selling own real estate. Between them they hold the huge population of buy-to-let vehicles and property SPVs. Many were incorporated to hold one building. Fee-based managing agents sit under 68320. High street and online agencies use 68310. Housing association landlords use 68201.

Who prospects SIC 68320 companies
So many entries are single-property vehicles that segmentation matters more here than almost anywhere else. Mortgage brokers, bridging lenders, insurance intermediaries, accountants and block management software firms all work the landlord codes. They watch for new incorporations, which often mean a purchase is under way. Agencies under 68310 buy different things: portals, proptech, photography and compliance services. A filing deadline hints that the company may switch accountant. Growth at a company under 68320 usually means it has won new management instructions.

SIC 68320 is a five-digit code, and the digits are not arbitrary. The first two, 68, are the division, real estate activities. Add the third and you have group 683; the fourth narrows it to a class, and the fifth to the subclass, which is the level Companies House actually asks a company to pick. The whole division sits under section L, real estate activities, the broadest tier there is. Reading a code left to right therefore goes from a whole sector down to one activity.
A company chooses its own codes when it incorporates and can change them on any confirmation statement. It may list up to four, and Companies House does not check whether they are right. That is why 68320 is worth reading as a claim the company made about itself rather than as a verified fact, and why the first-position and any-position counts above differ.
Measured on the August 2026 register, the busiest registered-office post towns for 68320 are London (28,424), Manchester (2,820), Birmingham (2,818), Bristol (1,450), Leeds (1,351). Those are registered-office locations, which is where the paperwork sits rather than necessarily where the work happens, so treat them as where to start looking rather than as a service area.
Using SIC 68320 as a filter
124,894 companies is 2.4 per cent of the 5,190,464 active companies on the UK register, and ranks 68320 third most used of the 6 codes we track in division 68. That is the pool before any filter. Whether it is a big market for you depends on what you sell, but it is the number every other filter on this page cuts down from.
Only 50,062 of the 124,894 companies carrying 68320 put it first. The other 74,832, 60 per cent, list it behind another code, which usually means the business does more than one thing and files 68320 as a sideline. A search that matches the first code only will miss most of this population, so match on any of the four SIC positions and use a second filter to tighten it.
These companies are spread out. London is the largest single cluster at 23 per cent and the top five post towns together hold only 30 per cent, so the remaining 70 per cent sits across the rest of the country. A regional filter narrows this list without gutting it, which makes it a reasonable code to work territory by territory.
In practice the code on its own is rarely the whole filter. Pair 68320 with an incorporation date to catch companies in their first months, when they are still choosing suppliers, or with a filing deadline to reach them while the year end is on their mind. A worked example for this code: 68320, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days, which turns a 124,894 company pool into a list you can write to in an afternoon. Add the poor-website filter if what you sell is a website, or a recent change of officer if you sell to whoever just took the job. Every company you pull carries the Companies House record, the director's name, a verified website and a verified email, and the ones we cannot complete are not charged.
