Hello! My SO and I are moving into our first flat together, and we're looking for some advice. The flat doesnt come with a washing machine or freezer (things we need and regularly use). Is it better in the long run to rent these items (some deals are around £15/month, but give items back at end of contract), rent to buy (which will cost more in the long run than buying), or buy outright on a credit card and pay that back? Neither of us currently have a credit card, and we're a bit hesitant to get one (plus neither of us really have any credit - phones in parents names, never rented before), but we dont really understand them. I pay car insurance monthly, I'm not sure if that counts as credit? Any advice or ideas welcome, thank you in advance!
