Not professional advice. This capability calculates property figures from published rules. It is a software component for developers, not legal or financial advice. Rules change and every rate here has an effective date. Check that the dates cover your case. Verify results against the official sources listed in its README, and have a conveyancer or tax adviser review how you use it, before anyone relies on the output.

What it does

An index-linked rent review, the usual kind in a commercial lease: the rent moves with an inflation index (CPI or RPI, or CPIH) between a base date and the review date, often held between a **collar** (a minimum increase) and a **cap** (a maximum), and often **upward-only** (it can never go down).

The caller supplies the two index values, in any integer unit as long as both use the same one (CPI 128.4 and 133.9 can be 1284 and 1339). The function never looks an index up: which month's figure counts, and which series, is a term of the lease.

For example

  • rent_review(£50,000.00, 1,200, 1,320, —, —, true) → new rent £55,000.00, index rent £55,000.00, index change basis points 10%, applied by index index up 10%, no collar or cap: £55,000
  • rent_review(£50,000.00, 1,200, 1,320, 2%, 4%, true) → new rent £52,000.00, index rent £55,000.00, index change basis points 10%, applied by cap index up 10% with a 4% cap: £52,000
  • rent_review(£50,000.00, 1,200, 1,236, 2%, 4%, true) → new rent £51,500.00, index rent £51,500.00, index change basis points 3%, applied by index index up 3% between a 2% collar and 4% cap

Install

fune build

With that line in your source, in a Rust project (language rust in fune.project), fune build resolves it and its 2 dependencies, pins them in fune.lock, downloads only the Rust package of each, and builds the code above into your project’s .fune/build, one readable file per capability with a header linking back here. A crate’s build.rs runs it before every compile. Or pin a range in fune.project and build in one step:

fune add property.rent-review

The whole function, every language, is one file too: property.rent-review-1.0.0.fune, 23,138 bytes, sha256 11f422817ecdd81cdfd1978d0b5952d1439bfd09691e5e2fef8fc0e5aa29d59e. It installs into a project of any language.

Customise it in your app

The seams this capability offers. Put a marker directly above a function of your own and fune build wires it into the built code; the package on the registry is not changed, the built file’s header lists it under CUSTOMISED, and fune hooks lists every hook in the project. How hooks work.

before — your function gets the arguments and returns them, changed or not, or throws to refuse the call.

// fune: before property.rent-review

after — your function gets the result and the arguments, and returns the final result.

// fune: after property.rent-review

replace — inside this capability’s code only, calls to a dependency go to your function, with the same signature. Other capabilities that use it are unaffected; write in * to replace it everywhere.

// fune: replace math.round-div in property.rent-review
// fune: replace money.amount in property.rent-review

step — your function runs at a numbered point inside the function’s body, receives the in-scope values it names as parameters, and may return replacements. List the points with fune show property.rent-review --steps.

// fune: step property.rent-review after <n|label>

Tests

A version published now needs at least 8 tests for every function, and one that expects the error for each function that throws; the registry refuses it otherwise. fune verify --all runs each case in TypeScript, Python and Rust, and a project runs them again with fune verify. This page lists the cases; it does not run them. The exact JSON is vectors.json.

More from the author

## How the rent is set

1. The index rent is passing rent × reviewIndex ÷ baseIndex. 2. If a cap is given and the index rises by more than the cap, the rent is passing rent × (1 + cap). 3. Else, if a collar is given and the index rises by less than the collar (or falls), the rent is passing rent × (1 + collar). 4. If upward-only and the result would be below the passing rent, the rent stays at the passing rent.

`appliedBy` says which of these set the rent (`index` when the index lands exactly on the cap or collar). Every comparison is made on exact fractions, and the rent is rounded half-up to the penny once, at the end. The index movement in basis points is returned for display only: applying a rounded percentage (6.42% for a 6.4166…% rise) gives a different rent from applying the index itself, and it is the index that the lease applies.

## Collar and cap are for the whole period

The collar and cap are the total increase allowed over the review period, not a yearly rate. A lease that says "between 1% and 4% a year, compounded, over five years" has a collar of (1.01^5 − 1) = 5.10% and a cap of (1.04^5 − 1) = 21.67%; work those out as the lease specifies (it may say how to round them) and pass the totals.

## Edge cases

- A collar above the cap is an error. A negative collar (a maximum fall) is allowed; so is a collar with no cap and a cap with no collar. - Upward-only with a falling index and no collar leaves the rent unchanged. - Leases that round the reviewed rent to the nearest pound, or to a multiple of £50, need that rounding applied to `newRent` afterwards.

## Limits

Passing rent up to £10,000,000 (1,000,000,000 minor units), indices from 1 to 1,000,000, collar and cap from −9,999 to 100,000 basis points, which keeps all the arithmetic exact in every language.
