UK Property-Related Goods And Services Payments: Above Average, But Big Disparities Persist

The Numbers

  • Companies analysed: 68
  • Average PaymentCheck Score: 59.7/100
  • UK average: 50.0/100 (Property-related Goods And Services is 9.7 points above)
  • Top payer: RATIONAL UK LIMITED - 97.1/100
  • Bottom payer: RECKITT BENCKISER (UK) LIMITED - 21.4/100

What Stands Out

The sector's average PaymentCheck score of 59.7 is nearly 10 points better than the UK average, suggesting a generally healthier payment culture than other industries. However, a range from 97.1 to 21.4 reveals significant inconsistencies, indicating that suppliers should scrutinize payment practices before committing to work.

Best Payers

  1. RATIONAL UK LIMITED - 97.1/100
  2. H YOUNG HOLDINGS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY - 93.6/100
  3. INTERNATIONAL PLYWOOD (IMPORTERS) LIMITED - 90.9/100
  4. MODUS SERVICES LIMITED - 90.2/100

  3. EATON ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS LIMITED - 24.1/100
  4. CIRCUIT LAUNDERETTE SERVICES LTD. - 29/100
  5. ROBERT MCBRIDE LTD - 31.3/100

Regional Patterns

Regional data is pretty thin on the ground, so we can't take much away from it. The South West shows the highest average at 90.9, but that's only based on one company. London, with 11 companies, has an average of 74.6.
