Treveth

Treveth is a B Corp certified Cornish developer dedicated to creating high-quality, sustainable homes for rent and sale within Cornwall, alongside delivering thoughtful commercial developments and workspaces. Established in April 2019 as a partnership business by Cornwall Council, the company's core mission is to benefit the people who live and work in Cornwall. Treveth operates exclusively within the Duchy, ensuring that all developments and investments are located there, and its profits are reinvested back into Cornwall Council to support local residents and initiatives. The firm's commitment extends to improving housing standards and fostering economic growth and job creation across the region.

The company's residential portfolio includes both open market rental homes and properties available for sale, with a strong emphasis on local connection. Treveth's energy-efficient, high-quality homes for open market rent are owned by the company and are primarily offered to individuals who live and work in Cornwall, aiming to support local communities and enhance access to quality housing for residents. These rental properties typically feature three-year agreements, providing residents with greater security and encouraging integration into their communities. Furthermore, Treveth offers a range of new homes for shared ownership across various sites in Cornwall. Perran Housing, Treveth's Registered Provider of social housing, facilitates connections between local Cornish people and their new shared ownership or affordable rental homes.

Sustainability is a fundamental principle guiding all of Treveth's operations, aligning with its status as a certified B Corporation. The company is committed to delivering low-carbon developments and actively works towards achieving its carbon reduction targets. Treveth homes are thoughtfully designed to minimise environmental impact and assist residents in optimising utility costs through the incorporation of low carbon technologies, including solar panels and sustainable energy solutions. The firm leads the way in decarbonising housebuilding in Cornwall, promoting sustainable home living, and ensuring that its housing developments are as environmentally friendly as possible. This commitment is reflected in a bespoke Design Guide that dictates the quality of materials and build processes for all homes.

Beyond residential projects, Treveth delivers thoughtful commercial development and workspaces designed to support Cornwall's people, economy, and environment. The company's corporate function oversees the delivery of both its housing and commercial portfolios, managing partnerships, funding, and investment opportunities. Treveth strives to be a "landlord of choice," providing high-quality management services and fostering well-maintained, welcoming communities for its residents. The firm's Estate Management and Aftercare service is designed to simplify life for Treveth residents, offering prompt responses to queries and ongoing care for homes and surroundings, demonstrating a commitment to high-quality service and long-term support.

Treveth's strategic framework and oversight guide its mission to deliver lasting value for Cornwall. The company's corporate role involves ensuring compliance, transparency, and governance across all operations, while driving its commitment to local value, sustainability, and long-term impact. As a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), Treveth was specifically established to assist Cornwall Council in achieving its objectives of improved housing, economic growth, and job creation. The firm aims to be a viable and profitable business with a long-term plan to provide consistent and reliable returns to its owners, all while operating within a framework that prioritises the needs of Cornwall and its residents.
