Futureproofing De Beauvoir Town with internet infrastructure investment
Benyon Estate residential tenants in De Beauvoir Town are enjoying hyperfast broadband from the day they move in thanks to an internet infrastructure investment.
With the aim of futureproofing our properties and reducing utility bills, we have invested £145,000 in a ClearFibre broadband network to over 200 of our residential properties.
With hyperfast speeds costing £20/month for 250 megabits per second (Mbps) and £35/month for 1,000 Mbps, ClearFibre could offer tenants savings of up to 50 per cent on their broadband bills, with no sign up or exit fees.*
Louis Hammonds, Tenant Services Manager, explained: “By investing in ClearFibre to our homes, it means tenants can be up and running with their internet access from the moment they get their keys.
“With the fast-paced world we live in and more people working from home, we hope this means there is one less stress in the moving process and helps our tenants settle in sooner.
“It’s not just for new tenants either,” Louis added. “Existing tenants can switch to ClearFibre too – and many already have. We’re really pleased with the initial uptake.”
The new infrastructure also means there is less external wiring on the properties, which are located within the Conservation Area of De Beauvoir Town.
Estate Manager, Edward Benyon, added: “We undertake a regular programme of renovation and refurbishment on our residential properties and are committed to making our historic properties fit for modern living.
“This is another step in enhancing the services offered to our tenants and making homes comfortable and connected.”

A party powered by Gusty the wind turbine
It’s always good to host a party – but the event held on Benyon Estate land on Monday (November 4th) was a party with a purpose! In partnership with Octopus Energy and the pro-growth campaign group, Britain Remade, we welcomed journalists and guests from the energy sector to a Turbine Build Party to demonstrate the technology needed to tackle climate change.
Albers in the news
Congratulations to Albers – one of our fantastic foodie tenants – who has been hitting the headlines with good news since the opening of its new café on Englefield Road earlier this summer.
Gusty the wind turbine coming soon...
The Benyon Estate is supporting a campaign to help remove planning barriers for the creation of new clean energy in urban areas. As a result of this there is a trial taking place on the yard at the rear of 62 and 64 Southgate Road.
