UK can verify your credit report from afar US. So I suggest you correlate your data.

hello to everyone,,
My American spouse and I will be relocating to the UK in the next few months.
I heard that you should a good credit history for get a rent house.
I also heard that unless you pick a sub-lease or a shared accommodation, which is something we want to avoid, real estate agencies run a credit check before renting an apartment to somebody.
We both have average credit histories and a low credit score here in the US but of course nothing in the UK. Is there a way for us to use our American credit scores over there?
We were thinking to request a copy of our credit report and bring it with us to the UK.
Now what I have to do with it. Need suggestion form experts.
