Statutory interest and compensation apply when your customer is a business (a landlord company, contractor or agent). For homeowners, your written terms, deposits and prompt invoicing do the heavy lifting.
Where money usually slips away
Remedial work bundled into the report
If extra circuits or fixes aren't quoted separately, they often end up done for nothing.
Landlords and agents
Unclear who the invoice goes to means it sits in the wrong inbox while the clock runs.
Certificates released before payment
Once the paperwork is handed over, the reason to pay quickly goes with it.
