I have an almost satisfied CCJ but also guarantor and 6 months rent. Would this be enough to reassure landlords?

Hi all,

Myself and my partner have been looking to move in together. Weve recently found a lovely property which would be perfect!

The issue is:

My partner has good credit. Not excellent but hes mostly recovered from bad decisions when he was younger and has rebuilt his credit.

I dont have good credit. Including 1 CCJ (water bill) that will be fully paid off this month.

4 years ago i left a domestic violent relationship and lived in a hostel for 11 months. The agreement for bills was odd. For example I paid for electric. But the hostel paid for the gas. I paid rent. But didn't pay council tax. The water bill was never discussed and this being the first place I had financial control over I was too stupid to ask.

The hostel forwarded my mail for 4 weeks then stopped. Its been 3 years. I have no idea what mail was delivered in that time. But I received a court enforcement letter to my current address in the post in March and set up a payment plan. I'm onto the last month now.

My partners mother paid 6 months rent in advance for his current place, as his credit wasn't too great and she didn't earn enough to guarantor.

She has offered to pay 6 months rent in advance for our new place. And my father has agreed to be guarantor.

Would this be enough to reassure potential landlords that we will be good tenants? My having a ccj has put everything on a wobble.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
