so credit scoring I was lucky. firstly I have an american express, so when I got here I called them and they gave me a new US one without a credit check. This started building my credit score immediately (and quite highly).
secondly, I own my apartment in London so used that as proof.
thirdly, I didn't rent privately. so I'm paying slightly over the odds, but it made it easier to get a place.
Furnished do exist, but they are normally short stay and cost $$$
