Covesta was born from a simple observation: buy-to-let property investment remains opaque, time-consuming and stressful for most French people. We created Covesta to change that.
Brice and Romain met in Montpellier, united by the same conviction: the French housing stock is full of untapped opportunities. Millions of square metres of energy-inefficient homes rated F or G are waiting to be turned into high-performance housing. Thousands of vacant offices in city centres could become modern, well-located flats.
Drawing on their respective experience, in finance and strategy for Brice and in operations and site supervision for Romain, they founded Covesta with a clear ambition: to offer end-to-end support, from sourcing the property through to its management, guaranteeing transparency, durability and profitability at every stage.
Today, Covesta targets two high-potential opportunities. The first: the renovation of energy-inefficient homes, those energy-hungry properties whose F or G rating on the energy performance certificate (DPE) is progressively barring them from the rental market. The second: the conversion of vacant offices into housing, a complex but highly profitable operation when well executed. In both cases, Covesta creates value for the investor from day one.

Co-founder · Operations & Works
A hands-on expert, Romain coordinates all operations: sourcing, negotiation, coordination of renovation works with vetted contractors, and furnishing. Each project is designed to maximise the energy-rating gain while keeping budget and deadlines under control.
LinkedIn profileEvery operation we carry out has a measurable impact. We arrange for energy-hungry homes to be turned into high-performance housing, and we help to reduce office vacancy by creating new homes. Our impact is measured in energy-rating (DPE) grades gained, energy savings achieved and rents generated for our investors.
We refuse cosmetic renovation. Every project we coordinate includes ambitious thermal insulation, durable materials and a long-term vision. A property renovated with Covesta is designed to perform for 20 years, not merely to pass a superficial audit.
Our fees are disclosed from the very first conversation. Your client portal shows the project's progress, itemised spending and updated yield in real time. No hidden costs, no grey areas.
Investing in rental property should not be a second job. Covesta was designed so that you can build a high-performing portfolio without sacrificing your evenings or weekends. You decide, we deliver.
