Property Management

What happens if there is a problem with my property?
If a guest encounters a problem within a flat, it is CLOUDROOMS responsibility. You’ll never be contacted for a blocked toilet or lost keys. If something more serious needs repairing, we will ensure you are made aware before any works are carried out.
So what relationship do I have with CLOUDROOMS? Are you the middle man?
Yes, you can put it that way. CLOUDROOMS becomes the managing agent of your property. It becomes our responsibility to undertake the management of the property.
Payment
Can you transfer the rent into an international account?
We certainly can. Many of our landlords are based overseas so we have no problem doing this for you.
What about deposit protection?
This is our duty so don’t worry. We will protect all of our guests' deposits in an accredited deposit scheme called the Tenancy Deposit Scheme and ensure certificates are signed and given to both parties.
So how soon do I receive my first rent payment?
Your first rent is due on the day you sign the contract. If you sign up on the 5th, on the 5th of each month you will then receive your rent. Very nice!
Guest Management
How do you qualify your guests?
Our guests are qualified through letting referencing procedures and through submission of adequate documents. It is our obligation to ensure all guests within the property provide a friendly environment and have the continuity of paying the rent on time every time without delay or complications.
How can you ensure my property is kept well?

CLOUDROOMS typically appeals to young professionals and postgraduate students, aged between 21 and 31. They tend to be past the flat-trashing party stage.

Regular cleaning means we can keep an eye on your property. Our cleaners will raise the alarm if your flat is not being properly looked after.

Once a quarter we do a full inspection. After this, we will email you a full report with photos.

Where do you find new guests?
Here at CLOUDROOMS, we do lots of work to make our target audience of young professionals moving to London aware of us. New guests come from: word of mouth referrals, links with corporates and relocation agencies, paid advertising on Google and Facebook and more.
Do you guarantee my rent if the guest doesn’t pay?
Absolutely. CLOUDROOMS becomes your tenant. It is our responsibility to pay the rent on time whether the tenant pays or not, and whether the property is empty or not.
