Quick answer: find the company's director, send a personalised connection request, and once connected open with a short, specific message that references their situation, not your service. LinkedIn rewards relevance and punishes spray-and-pray.
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.
Finding the right person
Companies House gives you the director names behind a property-owning company; LinkedIn lets you find and reach them. Match the person to the company before you connect.
The connect-then-message approach
Send a brief, personalised connection note. Once accepted, lead with one specific, relevant observation and a soft question - not a hard pitch. Keep it to a few sentences, no jargon, one clear next step.
Cadence
A visit, a connection, a message, then a single polite follow-up if there is no reply. Space touches out, keep volumes sensible, and never send the same copy to everyone - it reads as automation and gets ignored or flagged.
Compliance and etiquette
Follow LinkedIn's terms and messaging limits, keep it professional, and stop if someone is not interested. Business-to-business outreach is fine; spam is not.
Why it's an opportunity
LinkedIn puts you one message from the person who can actually say yes.
- No gatekeeper - reach the director directly.
- Context - you can see their role and background before you write.
- Relationship - a connection can warm up over time.
Find the directors worth messaging
Use the GalimAI portal to identify property companies in a situation, then reach their directors.

Is LinkedIn good for reaching property owners?
For company-owned property, yes - it reaches the director directly. Identify the right person via Companies House, connect with a personal note, then send a short, relevant message.
What should my first LinkedIn message say?
Keep it to a few sentences: one specific, relevant observation and a soft question. Avoid a hard pitch and never reuse identical copy across many people.
How often should I follow up?
One polite follow-up after no reply is enough. Space your touches and keep daily volumes sensible to stay within LinkedIn's limits.
