Any other information about payment terms

In early 2025 we issued communications to our suppliers that we had experienced some teething issues around our PO and payment processes, following the implementation of a new finance system, and that this had resulted in a delay in payments to some of our suppliers. This has impacted our supplier payment practices data for this period.

We are committed to resolving any disagreements in a constructive and respectful manner. If you encounter an issue, please raise it with your usual Landsec contact, who will escalate it through their line manager as appropriate.
