If it is genuine the LL won’t appreciate you putting his phone number on a public forum.
Many Landlords advertise through open rent then handle everything else themselves. If you do a quick online land registry check on the address of the property it’ll show you if the landlord owns the property, although in order to advertise on openrent, a Landlord must prove ownership. Beware of anything advertised on Facebook or Gumtree posing as Openrent.
Spend £3 on the land registry website and see if he owns the property.
