A unique acquisition-to-stabilisation project transforming a historic guest house into a fully occupied six-unit co-living asset.
Originally operating as a traditional bed and breakfast, this sizable period property presented a rare opportunity to reposition an underutilised hospitality asset into a high-performing rental investment. With generous proportions and an existing layout suited to multi-room occupation, the building lent itself naturally to a more premium co-living configuration.
Reconfigured into a six-bedroom HMO comprising five large self-contained studios and one en-suite room, the scheme was designed to offer a noticeably larger and more premium style of accommodation than a typical HMO conversion. The duplex-style layout and oversized rooms created a studio-led asset with a distinct identity in the local market.
Delivered as a full acquisition-to-stabilisation project for an investor client, the development included extensive refurbishment, compliance, certification and operational setup throughout — resulting in a fully functioning income-producing asset delivered to a professional standard.
Now fully let and professionally managed, the property is performing as intended — showcasing the value of thoughtful repositioning and high-quality design within larger period buildings.

All yields presented are based on purchase and redevelopment costs. Finance costs are not included, as these vary significantly depending on an individual investor’s circumstances and funding structure. Stamp duty, legal fees and other acquisition expenses may also vary by project and are therefore not reflected in the figures shown.
To launch the business, Brixvoir has secured an initial £50 million internal funding partnership through its strategic relationship with Angel Property Finance — providing dedicated in-house funding capability for Brixvoir clients acquiring investment properties through the platform. The funding facility has been structured to allow Brixvoir to scale aggressively, move quickly on opportunities and streamline the investment journey from acquisition through to refurbishment, refinancing and long-term management.
This initial funding line represents the first phase of a much larger long-term growth strategy for the business, with further institutional and private funding partnerships expected to follow as Brixvoir continues to expand its operations, development pipeline and national presence within the property investment sector.
Rather than operating as a traditional sourcing company, Brixvoir was built by combining the proven systems, experience and operational strengths behind multiple established businesses already operating successfully within the property sector.
The refurbishment and development model behind Brixvoir has been heavily influenced by the experience of Jason Jouan through The Jouan Group, where he has overseen and delivered tens of millions of pounds worth of property renovations and value-add development projects. Jason Jouan and his associated businesses have also received recognition and media coverage across a range of national and international publications including Forbes, GQ, The Independent, Men’s Health and other business and media platforms — recognising his work, entrepreneurial journey and growing presence within the property and business sectors.
Pani Zannetou is the founder of Curran Birds + Co, one of the region’s fastest-growing modern estate agencies, recognised for its strong market presence, modern approach and rapid growth within the property sector. Since launching, the business has expanded aggressively with multiple offices and a growing team, becoming one of the area’s most recognised independent agencies. The company has built a reputation for high-quality presentation, strong operational infrastructure and a forward-thinking approach to estate agency and property marketing. Alongside this, Pani Zannetou has become recognised as a growing entrepreneur within the wider property and business sector through the development of his multiple businesses.
Alongside this, Pani Zannetou and Jason Jouan also co-founded Jouan Real Estate, a specialist property management and operations company working closely with landlords and investors across the sector.
Together, these businesses provide the operational infrastructure, management capability, development experience and strategic partnerships behind Brixvoir — creating a platform designed to deliver carefully selected turnkey investment opportunities with a long-term focus on quality, execution and scalable growth.
With a focus on quality over volume, Brixvoir is positioned as a modern property investment brand built on credibility, execution and long-term strategic partnerships — with ambitions to become one of the UK’s leading fully integrated property investment and funding platforms over the coming years.
