Specialist Co-Living and PBSA Consultancy for Planning and Funding
Transform Your Career with a Coach for Property Professionals
Whilst PBSA is now a mature sector, co-living is fast emerging as a new housing typology aimed at single professional renters. Jo’s mission is to help developers secure planning and funding for co-living schemes. That is why Jo specialises in providing Needs Assessments, strategy, and other consultancy advice for planning and funding parties, clearly presenting the demand and business case for both the co-living and PBSA sectors. After 25 years of providing valuations in these sectors, Jo brings the benefits of deep sector knowledge and working with someone who truly understands co-living.
