What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Where payment relates to services provided by a subcontractor, payment of any sum ascertained as due in accordance with Vistry’s Trade Contract Terms & Conditions shall become due 14 days after the application date (the “payment due date”). The final date for payment is 14 days after the payment due date (i.e. 30 days from the application date). Where the payment relates to goods or services the terms differ and are required to be paid the month after the month of the date of the invoice, unless agreed otherwise.
Dispute resolution
Dispute resolution is a three step process that starts with the dispute being referred to the relevant Manager within the business. Vistry and the Vendor will then seek to settle the dispute by negotiation. If the dispute is not resolved it shall be referred to expert determination.

What a 52-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 52-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
