I'd agree with regards to paying by cash but bizarrely, no credit score as pretty bad in it's own right.

Needed to get a mortgage out so around a year before the went from renting to purchasing a house deliberately signed up to two credit cards, used them to establish a debt and then promptly paid back on time.

Bizarrely, you need to show you can manage debt to get a credit score...
