Certainty is key...

17 Mar 2023

CPF has long been a fan of the certainty delivered from fixed and index linked rent reviews, but importantly we realise that these mechanisms must be used in the appropriate sector and location so as to prevent overrenting and unsustainable rents for our tenants, and therefore have a detrimental impact upon the investment value of the Fund’s assets.  Over the past 10 years, we have grown the proportion of income delivered from indexation and fixed uplifts from just under 17% to over 45% today. 

In 2022 alone, fixed uplifts and indexation resulted in an increase of over £1.3 million to the Fund’s annual rent roll.  Just over two thirds of this was from RPI (both capped and uncapped), 17% was from fixed uplifts and the remaining 15% was from CPI.  Our current estimates are that over £1.4 million of additional income will be driven through fixed and indexed linked uplifts in 2023.
