Why we started Lane

Owners had two bad choices. We built a third.

When we started Lane Property in 2023, Queensland owners could hand the keys to a national operator and become an account number, or run it themselves across three platforms at 11pm.

We built the option in between. A team in South East Queensland you can name and call, one fee published on the website, and a day spent on how each property is performing, not on how many we can sign.

Liam Hukins and Dan Lane, directors

Three things you can check before you call us

Owned and run by its directors

Not a call centre, a franchise or part of an offshore hotel group. Two directors own it and run it from New Farm.

Check it: ABN 64 671 426 010, no parent company.

South East Queensland only

Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. Your property manager lives here and can be at your place this week.

Check it: ask us to fully manage a Sydney property. We'll point you to our co-host plan instead.

The fee is published

18% + GST, or 15% + GST with two or more properties, plus a $500 one-off setup fee. No sales call to find out.

Check it: the pricing page, with a worked example.

Who runs it

Two directors who started it, own it and still run it.

No franchisor, no head office in another state, no offshore owner.

Liam Hukins

Director

Liam looks after property performance and owner relationships. He works directly with owners on how their places are priced and how they are tracking against the market.

Dan Lane

Director

Dan runs operations, systems and the team. He built the processes behind every turnover, inspection and guest message, and keeps them improving.

New owner enquiriesOne person takes you from enquiry to forecast to onboarding. No handoffs.

Your local property managerBased in your region. Knows the building, the cleaners and the regulars, and visits in person.

Guest messages, 24/7AI answers the simple questions instantly. Our team handles the rest within 5 minutes.

How Lane is run

Four decisions that explain the results.

Pricing, signed off daily

PriceLabs re-prices twice a day, our own software checks it every morning against your market, and a director signs off every change. How we price

Photo-verified turnovers

Every clean runs through LaneOps, the app we built for our cleaners, with each step photographed before the next guest arrives.

A local manager per owner

Not a ticket queue. A property manager in your region whose direct mobile number you have.

Performance over headcount

Every property is tracked against comparable listings on revenue, occupancy and reviews. Signing the next property comes second.

Before you decide

Questions owners ask about Lane Property.

Who owns Lane Property?

Liam Hukins and Dan Lane started Lane Property in 2023 and still own and run it as directors from New Farm, Brisbane. There's no parent company, no franchise network and no offshore owner.

I'm with another manager. How does switching work?

Send us your last three statements and we'll reply within 24 hours with what we'd change. If you move, we rebuild your listing and put it live a week before handover, with dates blocked until the day we take over. Most Queensland management agreements need 30 days' notice.

What does Lane Property cost?

18% + GST of accommodation revenue for one property, or 15% + GST on every property if you have two or more with us, plus a $500 one-off setup fee. Cleaning is charged to the guest. No per-booking surcharge and no lock-in.

Where does Lane Property manage?

Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast including Noosa Shire, and nowhere else for full management. Outside South East Queensland, our co-host plan covers pricing, messages and reviews while you look after the property.

Is there a lock-in?

No. A rolling 30 days' notice, no minimum term and no exit fee, whether you move to another manager or back to a long-term lease.

How quickly can my property start earning?

The first booking typically lands within 7 days of going live. A furnished property gets there fastest. Your forecast gives you a date.

What happens if a guest damages the property?

Every turnover is photographed room by room, so there's a dated record of condition. We document the damage, run the claim through the booking platform and coordinate the repair. Anything over $500 comes to you for approval first.
