How to find who owns a property, and how to contact them

To contact a property owner you first have to identify them. In the UK that means two public sources - HM Land Registry for the property and Companies House for the company behind it - plus careful, lawful research to reach the right person.

how to research

Quick answer: find the property's registered owner at HM Land Registry, and if it is company-owned, use Companies House for the directors and registered office. From there you have an address to write to and names to reach on LinkedIn or by phone.

Before you can contact anyone, you have to know who to contact. GalimAI finds the property owners most likely to sell - you can size a target list for your area in plain English, then use the methods below.

HM Land Registry

The Land Registry holds the registered proprietor of a title. A title register (a small fee) tells you who legally owns the property - an individual or, often, a company.

Companies House

If a company owns it, Companies House gives you the directors, the registered office address and the filed accounts - free and public. That is your route to the decision-maker and a mailing address.

Reaching the person

With a director name you can find them on LinkedIn, write to the registered office, or research published business contacts for email and phone. Keep research lawful and respect data-protection rules.

Doing it at scale

Looking up one owner is easy; finding thousands in a situation is the hard part. That is where GalimAI fits - it identifies the property owners worth contacting, so this step is about reaching them, not hunting for them.

Why it's an opportunity

The public record already tells you who owns almost every property - the skill is turning that into the right contact.

Common questions

How do I find out who owns a property in the UK?

Use HM Land Registry to find the registered proprietor of the title. If a company owns it, Companies House gives the directors and registered office.

Is it legal to look up property ownership?

Yes. HM Land Registry title registers and Companies House records are public. Reaching the owner must still respect UK GDPR and marketing rules.

How do I find owners at scale?

Manual look-ups suit one property. To find thousands of owners in a situation, use a targeting tool like GalimAI, then pull individual details from the public record.
