Khun Mark, Cherngtalay
A small practice, by design
Mark Horsfall is a British property consultant based at Boat Avenue, Cherngtalay, known across Phuket as Khun Mark.
Property is the family trade. Mark is the fourth generation, descended from a Lancashire firm founded by his great-grandfather in 1947. From 2007 to 2025 he built and ran his own property business in the UK, and he now brings that quarter century of experience to Phuket.
He advises on the purchase, sale and rental of villas and condominiums across the island, and manages properties for owners who live abroad.
The practice is British and Thai run, and small by design. Every viewing and conversation is handled personally by Mark.

Beyond professional. Mark helped me find a house for a long-term rental and every problem along the way was sorted at lightning speed. A brilliant negotiator too. I recommend him 100%!

Questions
What buyers ask first
Can a foreigner buy a property in Phuket?
Yes, with limits. A foreigner can own a condo freehold in their own name, provided the building's foreign quota (49% of the total unit floor area) has room and the money comes in from abroad. Land cannot be owned by a foreigner, so villas are usually bought on a registered 30-year lease of the land, with the building owned separately. The ownership tool walks through each case. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Where do most expats live in Phuket?
The largest groups live on the west coast around Bang Tao, Laguna and Cherngtalay, and in the south around Rawai, Nai Harn and Chalong. The first suits families who want international schools, beach clubs and restaurants close by. The south is quieter, more residential and better value for long stays. Kamala and Surin attract buyers who want sea views and the higher end of the market.
Is Phuket real estate a good investment?
It can be, if you buy the right property on the right title at the right price. Location, the strength of the rental market for that type of home, the quality of the building and the cost of management decide the return far more than the island as a whole. Khun Mark would rather show you the real numbers for a specific property than promise an average. The investment page explains how he assesses a purchase.
