1️⃣ Experience with WA Legislation
WA’s Strata Titles Act 1985 is complex — your manager should understand compliance, meetings, and insurance inside and out. A knowledgeable manager can help you navigate legal obligations and avoid costly compliance issues.

2️⃣ Communication Matters
Look for a company that actually answers emails and calls within a business day. Communication is the difference between a smoothly run property and ongoing frustration.
At Redstone Lane, we guarantee fast responses and regular updates — every enquiry answered within one business day.
3️⃣ Transparent Fees
Hidden commissions and confusing add-ons are still common in the industry. Always ask for a clear breakdown of management fees and what’s included.
At Redstone Lane, our strata management fees are upfront and commission-free — no hidden surprises, ever.

4️⃣ Portfolio Size
When a manager handles too many schemes, your property becomes just another file. Smaller portfolios mean more personalised service and faster support.
Redstone Lane intentionally limits the number of schemes per manager to ensure every committee receives the attention it deserves.
5️⃣ Local Knowledge
WA conditions — from climate to contractors — are unique. A Perth-based strata manager understands the realities of property maintenance, seasonal challenges, and regional regulations.
At Redstone Lane, we’re proud to be Perth-owned and locally operated.
