I’m the freeholder of a block of flats called the Waves in Boscombe in Bournemouth, Initiative Property services have looked after the Waves for me since 2012 and have always given me a good service from maintaining the property and engaging with the residents directly without me having to ask them. They’ve also been good when we’ve had to find contractors to carry out major works like the redecoration of the property, Steven Greaney has always been very helpful and worked with me on any problems and I’m happy to give them a good recommendation.

We started the very daunting process of Right To Manage, (RTM). It seemed difficult on the surface, but actually with a good Lawyer on board, and positive contributions from the other Leaseholders, it was easier than I thought.

After successfully obtaining RTM, we then explored Property Management Companies. It is a very demanding role, and one that you need to investigate and interview extremely thoroughly.

We were fortunate indeed to discover Initiative Property Management in Bournemouth. Headed by Steve Greaney and his professional, dedicated Team we instructed them to manage our newly acquired building of 23 Retirement Apartments in Dorset.

Right To Manage has been an eye opener, the savings in costs we have made have been huge, and Initiative Property Management have done exactly what it says on the tin.

Our previously poorly managed building is starting to be transformed, under Initiatives careful management. They have taken on a very difficult poorly managed building and made life very easy indeed for us.

Highly recommended. Thank you very much to Steve and Bianca and the team. Well done.

Initiative Property Management is the 3rd company in the Bournemouth area that I personally have had experience of, and I am happy to report that it is the best I have come across. Steve Greaney leads the team who are active in resolving problems quickly, providing good advice, and bringing in specialist outside companies and individuals to provide the support where necessary.

Initiative have replaced the other management companies that I have had experience of, and in my view they can be trusted to provide a very good service.

..we will be continuing to move the block forward in their very capable hands.

Reporting issues is hassle free and they’re always responsive.

As a local landlord I have worked with Initiative Property Management on several sites over the last five years. IPM take a much more proactive and pragmatic approach to property management than other managing agents. In each case the quality and timeliness of maintenance has been improved, the condition of the buildings and grounds has been improved and facilities have been enhanced without significant increases in service charge.

Thank you!
