What is the difference between freehold and leasehold properties?
A freehold property means you own the property and the land it stands on outright. With a leasehold property, you own the property for a set number of years (as specified in the lease), but the land it stands on is owned by the freeholder.
What’s the difference between a realtor, an estate agent, and a real estate agent?
In the UK, the term "estate agent" is commonly used, whereas "realtor" is primarily used in the US. A realtor is a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and adheres to its code of ethics. Both terms generally refer to professionals who assist with property transactions.
Affordable Renting in the USA with Credit Checks
Finding affordable renting options in the USA often involves understanding the role of credit checks. Here’s what you need to know:
- Why are credit checks required? We use credit checks to evaluate your financial reliability and ability to pay rent on time. A good credit score can make renting easier, while a lower score may require additional deposits or guarantors.
- Can I rent without a credit check? Yes, we may rent without a credit check. Alternatively, you can offer references, proof of income, or pay several months’ rent upfront to build trust.
- How can I improve my chances of renting affordably? Start by checking your credit score and addressing any errors. Having steady income, offering a larger security deposit, or applying with a co-signer can also help secure affordable rental agreements.
