Property Sector Payment Practices Improve Slightly: Average Score Rises From 63.8 to 68.6
The Comparison
Here's a snapshot of payment performance in the property sector:
- 2020: Survey of 452 companies resulted in an average payment practices score of 63.8 out of 100.
- 2025: Survey of 374 companies resulted in an average payment practices score of 68.6 out of 100.
- Change: Overall improvement of 4.8 points on the payment practices score.
What This Means
While the property sector's average payment practices score did improve, the increase of only 4.8 points across five years is a marginal improvement. This limited progress indicates ongoing challenges in optimizing payment processes across the property sector. Companies facing difficulties can use a late payment calculator to assess the impact of delayed invoices.
Overall, between 2020 and 2025, the property sector saw a slight positive shift, with average scores rising from 63.8 to 68.6.
