While the property-related goods and services sector outperforms the UK average in payment practices with a score of 58.9/100, the wide range between top and bottom performers – a staggering 78.65 points between RATIONAL UK LIMITED and RECKITT BENCKISER (UK) LIMITED – suggests significant disparities within the industry. London-based companies lead regionally, with an average score of 69.4, suggesting a potential correlation between location and payment efficiency.
London stands out as the strongest performing region, averaging 69.4, comfortably exceeding the sector average of 58.9, while the limited sample size of some regions (South West with only 2 companies) makes broad regional conclusions difficult; the high London score is likely influencing the sector average.
