# Property Payment Practices: 5-Year Analysis (2020-2025)

# 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.
