Our Commitment to Cornwall

Treveth is an organisation created, with a remit and focus, that is relentlessly about Cornwall.  As such we are proud to share our Commitment to Cornwall with you. We have two key points that underwrite our commitment:

Our mandate is that we will not work outside of Cornwall.  Developments will be located, and Investments will be made, within the Duchy.

We will play a part in shaping Cornwall’s Communities and Places by positively impacting those that live and work within Cornwall. We operate as a commercial organisation and we will seek to balance our commitment when making a commercial return.  We term our unique approach ‘Profit with Purpose’.

 

How will we meet these commitments and how can we be measured against them?

Residential Developments

01

Quality of homes

Our homes will be built to a bespoke Design Guide that encompasses quality materials and build processes.  Treveth aims to become the quality standard for all Cornish residential developments.

02

Size of homes

All Treveth homes are built to National Space Standards that will tend to exceed the room sizes provided by other private developers.  Treveth will not alter the size according to tenure type.

03

Environmental impact of homes

Treveth homes will be as environmentally friendly as possible and help residents to optimise thier utility costs.  Treveth will lead on local ‘decarbonisation’ of the build and then running of homes.

04

Tenure Types - Open Market Rental

Treveth schemes will include open market rental properties as the majority tenure.  This will help to boost the supply of quality rental accommodation in every area we develop in.

05

Priority for local people

All Treveth rental properties will prioritise residents who live or work in the local area.

06

Three-year Rental Agreement

Treveth open market rental homes will have a three-year Agreement to allow residents greater security and to become more integrated into their community.

07

Responsive Management of Treveth homes

Treveth offers quality management services for all residents.  Treveth strives to be the ‘Landlord of Choice’.

08

As the owner/landlord of the majority of the Estate, Treveth will be in a position to be an effective custodian for the long-term quality of the developments.

New homes are only part of the needs of a Community.  Treveth will also invest to develop new and modern Workspaces for businesses to encourage the development of jobs alongside new homes.
