Property Sector Payment Practices: A Marginal 0.6 Point Improvement in 2025

The Comparison

Here's how payment practices in the Property-related Goods and Services sector compare between 2024 and 2025:

• 2024: A total of 81 companies were analyzed, achieving an average payment practices score of 59.1 out of 100.
• 2025: The sector shrank slightly, with 68 companies assessed, yielding an average payment practices score of 59.7 out of 100.

What This Means

The 0.6-point increase in average payment practice scores between 2024 and 2025 demonstrates a virtually flat trend. Despite the reduction in the number of companies sampled, the incremental improvement suggests a possible, albeit insignificant, shift towards slightly faster payments, but the change is so small as to be statistically negligible. Companies dealing with these firms may wish to use a late payment calculator to determine potential compensation.

Overall, the Property-related Goods and Services sector showed only a fractional change in payment practices, moving from an average score of 59.1 (81 companies) in 2024 to 59.7 (68 companies) in 2025.
