This has just arrived in our "comments" section. We can't publish the name of the agency at this stage...

Just heard through the grapevine that [a major high street estate agency] have been refused credit to lease new office equipment. They even couldn't get it agreed using backstreet lenders! Is this the start of things to come, no assets, huge debts and no income?

More - subject to the advice of our fifth floor legal department - later.
