ABOUT CUSTODIAN
A considered approach to property management
The complexity of managing a property following a bereavement can be extremely demanding, both practically and emotionally.
Custodian Property Partners simplifies the process by providing a single, trusted point of contact to protect, organise and prepare the property, coordinating everything required through to a successful sale and completion.
Handled with care.
Managed with experience.
OUR PRINCIPLES
The trust placed in us matters
Entrusting someone with a loved one’s home and possessions requires a great deal of trust. We understand that responsibility, and it shapes the way we work.
Care
We never forget that the property we are managing has been someone’s home. We treat it — and the belongings within it — with care, sensitivity and respect.
Consent
We recognise that emotional value cannot always be measured in monetary terms. Nothing is removed from the property without the prior agreement of the executors or family.
Independence
Our recommendations are made solely in the interests of the estate and those we represent, without obligation to any agent, contractor or supplier.
Continuity
One trusted point of contact throughout. Someone who knows the property, understands your wishes and is always at the end of the phone when you need them.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Property expertise. Personal experience.
Custodian Property Partners was founded by Maranda Jones who has worked in the residential property industry since 2012, specialising in helping clients buy homes across Surrey, North Hampshire and West Sussex.
Having spent more than a decade advising clients on significant property decisions, Maranda brings extensive knowledge of the local housing market, a deep understanding of what matters to buyers looking for their next home and how best to maximise the value of a property — experience that can be invaluable when a family is managing a property from a distance.
The idea for Custodian is also deeply personal. After losing her own father in 2020, Maranda was responsible for sorting and organising her parents’ home. She understands first-hand how difficult it can be to make practical decisions about a property at an already emotional time — and that the belongings which matter most are not necessarily those with the greatest monetary value.
Custodian was created to provide the support she knows she would have valued herself: one trusted person to take care of the property, coordinate everything required and be at the end of the phone throughout.
