About

A Different Approach to Property Management

Formline Property Management looks after villas and residential properties for owners who want them run well, without having to run them themselves.

We handle the day-to-day operation of the property: guests, housekeeping, maintenance and the people and services behind it. Our fee is linked to what the property earns, so our interests stay aligned with yours.

Our initial focus is Southern Sri Lanka, with particular interest in the Galle, Unawatuna, Mihiripenna, Thalpe, Habaraduwa and Ahangama areas.

A new company within the Formline group. We are at the start of our work and are building our first owner relationships in the south.

Our Approach

From first conversation to running the property

A clear, four-stage process. Each property moves at its own pace, and nothing proceeds without agreement from both sides.

  1. 01

    Introduction

    Tell us about your property and what you are looking for.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    We visit the property and review its location, condition and potential.

  3. 03

    Agreement

    We agree the arrangement and set out the terms in writing.

  4. 04

    Operation

    We take over the agreed day-to-day running of the property and keep you informed.

Start with a short introduction. Location, property type and number of bedrooms are enough for a first conversation.
