Forres, Scotland • Scotland
Forres is a granite market town in Moray, twenty-five miles east of Inverness on the A96 in the IV postcode area, where the Findhorn opens out towards the Moray Firth. Crews working between Inverness and Aberdeen — housing, energy, utilities and the region's food-and-drink plants — often find Forres the handiest base of the lot. KrewBase takes whole serviced houses and flats in and around Forres with bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in and one monthly invoice going straight to your company.
Forres is handsome but practical: granite townhouses and villas on the older streets, post-war semis through the estates, and newer family housing around the town's edge. For crews we look for a driveway, two bathrooms on bigger headcounts and broadband that's been tested — the things that make a six-month booking painless. Parking is easier here than any city, the streets are quiet, and the town's compact enough that the shops and the station are a short walk from most houses.
The stretch between Inverness and Aberdeen keeps crews busy all year: housing growth in the towns, energy and grid work across the region, utilities, and the food-and-drink production Moray is known for. Crews working across Moray and into the Highlands often cover several sites in a month, and Forres sits neatly in the middle of it all. A settled house with one monthly invoice suits that rhythm far better than a fresh hotel bill every week.
The A96 threads everything together: Nairn eight miles west, Elgin twelve east, and Inverness about 25 — with Aberdeen just over an hour beyond Elgin. Forres has its own station on the Aberdeen–Inverness line, and Inverness Airport is close for crew changes from further south. We shortlist by drive time from the actual site, so a crew on the coast gets a different shortlist to one heading inland or towards the city.
The crew takes the whole property — house or flat, no other tenants, no shared corridors. Every bill stays in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, parking is confirmed against the vehicles, and crews of five or more get two bathrooms in our search. A weekly clean with linen keeps the place straight, and maintenance is our responsibility. One monthly invoice, paid by card, no booking fees, no minimum crew or stay.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Within two working hours of receiving the site postcode, crew size and dates. Every option is pre-checked for drive time, parking, broadband speed and bathroom count, so the shortlist you get contains only houses that are actually available and actually fit the crew.
The town itself, plus the villages towards Findhorn and Alves, Kinloss and Rafford, and down the A96 towards Nairn. Crews working towards Elgin or Inverness get shortlists from the relevant side, so the daily run stays sensible however the rota moves.
Yes — driveways and garages are common here, and we confirm parking against your vehicle list before offering anything. Van lengths and trailers are matched in advance and written into the property summary, so there are no awkward conversations on arrival day.
They are. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband all stay in our name and roll into a single monthly invoice to your company paid by card. Broadband is speed-tested before the crew checks in, and the crew never pays for or claims anything.
No. Two people for a few weeks get the same service as a full crew for six months — the house is sized to the crew, not the other way round. And if the job extends, we normally extend the booking in the same property at the agreed rate.
Three things: the site postcode or location, the crew size, and the rough dates. With those we shortlist suitable whole properties within two hours, confirm parking and broadband on each, and come back with one monthly rate your company can approve in a single email.
