“Really? You do that too?” – words we often hear from our clients!
Landlords and building managers are frequently shocked to learn quite how much our maintenance team at Form Communal can take off their plate. So with this in mind, we’ve made it simple with a handy A-Z guide. Just remember – this is far from everything!

What are the benefits of hiring an assistant property management team?
From plumbers, to electricians, joiners, groundspeople, cleaners, and more – the list of independent service providers your properties need can feel endless.
With Form Communal, you only need one contract. We handle absolutely everything – from the brickwork to the boiler and the bins. We can even place an on-site building manager to direct all maintenance autonomously – no stress needed.
With our founder’s firsthand experience in property management, our team has the insight, tools, and near 20 years of expertise to make property management a breeze. But don’t take our word for it!
“From the outset, it was evident that Form understood the unique challenges associated with maintaining a sizable residential property portfolio. Because of their excellent work they now operate over 160 of our cleaning contracts across the country.”
– Paul Hitchen, Operations Director (North), RMG.
