About — Hands Off Housing
About us

A background in compliance.
An instinct for property.

Prince Prime Properties Ltd is the company. Hands Off Housing is the brand it became — shaped by over 25 years of combined experience across regulatory technology, corporate compliance, and finding the right solution for all involved.

Cerise Prince

Property Operations & Investor Relations

Cerise grew up around property. Her family ran a mortgage business alongside a residential portfolio — buy-to-let, tenancy management, property finance. She understood it before she'd ever worked in it.

She spent 12 years in regulatory technology and consulting, helping organisations solve real problems through software. She knows how to find the gap between what exists and what's needed.

That's what she brings here. Hands Off Housing was built on structuring deals where the investor wins, the landlord wins, the operator wins.

She leads investor relationships, deal sourcing, and portfolio strategy. She's who you'll speak to first.

Operations, Contracts & Compliance

Justin spent 15 years in corporate consulting, financial adjudication, licensing, and information security management. He has worked with organisations navigating complex supplier relationships, regulatory obligations, and the distance between what a business says it does and how it actually runs.

That distance matters in property more than most people realise.

His role at Hands Off Housing is to close it — making sure agreements mean what they say, that systems are in place before they're needed, and that the standard doesn't slip when no one's watching.

Why this matters

We're not a one-and-done business

Source the deal, collect the fee, move on. That's most of this industry.


We want the landlords, investors, and operators we work with to come back. That only happens if the first arrangement actually worked — for everyone in it.

Everyone can win
We structure arrangements so the landlord, the investor, the operator, and the occupier all get something valuable out of it.
We're in this for the long game
One good deal leads to another. That only works if people actually want to come back; so that's what we build towards.
Honest answers, even the uncomfortable ones
If it's not the right area, the right time, or the right fit; we'll say so.
Our accreditations

Compliance is built in, not added on

Frankly, it's a legal requirement. We're not listing these to impress anyone.
But let's be real — there are operators in this space who aren't compliant, and the lines around deal sourcing are blurry enough that some get away with it. We're not interested in working around the rules for convenience. The people we work with put trust in us. That means something.
