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, 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? Please read on.
Residential development
Quality of homes
Our homes will be built to a bespoke Design Guide that builds in quality of materials and build process. Treveth aims to become the quality standard for Cornish residential development schemes.
Environmental impact of homes
Treveth homes will be as environmentally friendly as possible and help residents to optimise utility costs. Treveth will lead on local ‘decarbonisation’ of the build and then running of homes.
Tenure types – open market dominant
Treveth schemes will include open market rental properties as the majority tenure. This will help to boost the supply of quality rented accommodation in every area we develop in.
Priority for local people
All Treveth rented properties will prioritise residents who live or work in the local area.
Three-year rental lease
Treveth open market rental homes will have a three-year lease term to allow residents greater security and to become more integrated into the community
Responsive management of Treveth homes
Treveth will put in place ‘best quality’ management services for residents. Treveth strives to be the ‘landlord of choice’.
Whole estate management
Only a small proportion of a Treveth development will be sold on the open market. As the owner/landlord of the majority of the estate, Treveth will be in a position to be an effective custodian of the long-term quality of the development.
Commercial development
Match up workspace and commercial to ensure jobs as well as homes
New homes are only part of the needs of a ‘place’. Treveth will also invest to develop new and modern workspace for businesses to encourage the development of jobs alongside new homes.
Improve quality of commercial space
Treveth will also work to refurbish and upgrade commercial/workspace where this secures jobs and encourages growth.
Work to meet specific property needs of a business
Where a business has a specific need Treveth will work with the organisation to create the facilities that will allow it to succeed and grow.
