Do LA's usually take credit card payment for holding deposit

And do they take credit card payment for the next stage deposit which in our case will be 1 or 1.5 times monthly rent and also probably 3/6 months up front rent.
Also do they take cheques or would cash be better as a better sign of seriousness
I am just working our how much to transfer from savings to current account.

To a letting agent any form of payment is usually gratefully accepted, though cheques are usually not as they take so long to clear.
Whether you pay by credit/debit card is your decision, not theirs. You may incur a charge for doing so though, for the card handling, and cash would get around this hence making it potentially 0.5% - 2% cheaper for you.0
