Airbnb and rental management for Phuket property owners
Your property should earn while you are away, without becoming a second job. Khun Mark oversees holiday lets and long-term tenancies from Boat Avenue, and tells you every month exactly what came in and what went out.
Choose your route
Short-term or long-term
Two ways to let a Phuket property, each with its own trade-off. Khun Mark can arrange either, and he will tell you plainly which suits your home.
Short-term and Airbnb management
Holiday lets, fully managed
Higher potential income, more moving parts. Khun Mark lists your villa or condo on Airbnb and Booking.com and coordinates everything from the first enquiry to the last towel.
- Professional listing creation and optimisation across the major platforms
- Dynamic pricing to balance occupancy and nightly rate through the seasons
- Guest screening, messaging and support during the stay
- Cleaning, linen and coordination of maintenance
- Check-in and check-out for every booking
- A monthly report with a clear breakdown of earnings and costs
Long-term management
Tenants vetted, property protected
Steadier income and less wear. Mark built his UK property business on careful tenant vetting and proactive management, and oversees Phuket lettings the same way.
- Marketing your property and conducting viewings
- Thorough tenant vetting before anyone signs
- A clear lease and a documented check-in inventory
- Rent collection and owner statements
- Repairs and maintenance arranged and overseen by a project manager
- Regular checks on the property and a report to you
Great service from start to finish. Converted my long term rental in Phuket into a great income generating property via Airbnb. I only wish I did it sooner.
Fees
What management costs
Fees are tailored to your property.
Ask Khun Mark for a quoteEstimate your rental income
Put in your own figures and see a rough annual picture. Nothing here is a forecast or a promise; it is a way to test the numbers before you talk to Khun Mark.
Your estimate
Fill in the figures and your estimate will appear here as you type.
This calculator uses only the figures you enter. It does not know your property, its location, its condition or the current market, and it is not a forecast or a guarantee of income. It does not include income tax, withholding tax, the cost of furnishing, insurance excess, major repairs or changes in exchange rates. Holiday-let income in Phuket rises and falls with the seasons, and your actual results may be lower. Speak to Khun Mark for an assessment of your property, and to a tax adviser about your own position.

Questions
What fee do Phuket property managers charge?
Most managers charge a percentage of the rental income, with holiday lets costing more to run than long-term tenancies because there is far more work involved. Fees are tailored to your property. Always check what a quoted fee includes: cleaning, linen, maintenance call-outs and platform fees are sometimes added on top.
Ask Khun Mark for a quoteWhat yield can a managed villa make?
It depends on the villa, its location, its nightly rate, how many nights it is booked and the costs of running it. Khun Mark does not quote an average because averages hide too much. Use the calculator above with your own figures, then ask him for an assessment of your property.
Should I choose a holiday let or a long-term tenant?
A holiday let can earn more, but income moves with the seasons and the property sees more wear. A long-term tenant gives steadier income with less management. If you want to use the property yourself for part of the year, a holiday let usually fits better.
Can I use my property when it's on Airbnb?
Yes. Block the dates you want and Khun Mark works around them. Tell him early for the busy months.
Is short-term letting legal in Phuket?
Rules on short-term letting in Thailand depend on the type of property, the building's own regulations and licensing. Some condo buildings do not allow daily or weekly lets. Khun Mark checks your building's rules before listing anything. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Can you look after a property bought elsewhere?
Yes. Wherever you bought it, Khun Mark can take on looking after it.
A first look at your property
Send Khun Mark the address or listing link, and tell him how you use it now. He will come back with a realistic view of what it could earn and what management would involve.
