Liss, South East • England
Liss is a brick-and-flint village in East Hampshire's GU postcode area, where the A3 runs between Guildford and Portsmouth, close to Petersfield and the western South Downs. KrewBase provides whole serviced houses and flats for working crews here — bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, parking measured against your actual vehicles, and one monthly invoice back to your office, with no booking fees or minimum stay.
Liss grew up around the railway and the old A3, so its housing is a practical mix: brick terraces and semis around the village centre and Station Road, post-war estates towards Liss Forest and Hill Brow, and a scatter of newer detached houses on the edges. Crews tend to do best in the semis and small estates, where there's a drive, a garden for boots and kit, and space to park a van without blocking the street. We filter every house on parking before it goes on a shortlist — measured against the actual vehicles your crew turns up in.
We also look hard at bathrooms and sleeping space. Any property for five or more needs two bathrooms as a minimum, decent-sized bedrooms rather than box rooms, and a kitchen table big enough for a crew briefing. Houses near the village centre work well for crews without vehicles; those towards Liss Forest suit crews with vans who want quick access back to the A3.
Liss sits in a busy working corridor. Crews come here for construction and housing development across East Hampshire, rail maintenance along the Portsmouth to London line, power and grid work around the western Weald, and telecoms and utilities jobs between Petersfield and Guildford. There is steady demand from smaller firms subcontracting on bigger sites across the South East who need a proper base rather than a block of hotel rooms.
We don't tie crews to a single site. If the job moves — from a site near Petersfield to one around Alton, or south towards Portsmouth — we re-shortlist around the new location rather than leaving the crew commuting an hour each way. Same house standard, same bills-in arrangement, same single monthly invoice, just a shorter drive. Most of our East Hampshire stays run from a few weeks to several months, which suits the pattern of work in this part of Hampshire.
The A3 is the spine of the area: Guildford is roughly twenty miles north, Petersfield around five miles west, and Portsmouth about seventeen miles south past the Hindhead Tunnel. The A272 links east towards Midhurst and west towards Winchester for crews on rural jobs. Liss station sits on the Portsmouth to London Waterloo line, so crew members without vehicles can get in and out without depending on lifts.
When we shortlist for a specific job, we work from drive time rather than a pretty map. Send us the site postcode and shift pattern and we'll come back with houses that genuinely fit — not ones that only look close. For night-shift crews we weight quieter streets and off-road parking more heavily, because sleep in the day is the whole point of the house.
Every let is the whole property — not rooms in someone else's house. Bills go in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water, broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, heating systems are checked, and anything that breaks during the stay is our problem, not yours. A cleaner visits weekly with fresh linen, so the house stays workable even on long jobs.
You get one monthly invoice covering the lot — rent, bills, cleaning — paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. Two people for a fortnight is as welcome as twenty for six months; most crews are somewhere in between. To price a house we need the site postcode, crew size, start date and expected length of stay, and we'll have a shortlist back within two working hours.
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.
Send the site postcode, crew size, start date and expected length of stay and we'll come back with a shortlist within two working hours — often faster. We build it around real drive time from your site, not a radius on a map, so the options are actually usable.
Liss village itself, Liss Forest, Hill Brow and the surrounding parishes, plus Petersfield and the villages along the A3. If the job sits further out, we simply widen the shortlist — the house standard and the one monthly invoice stay exactly the same.
Yes — it's one of our main filters. Every house is checked for off-road parking sized against the vehicles your crew actually runs, and we favour the properties towards Liss Forest and the estate roads where drives are bigger. We never assume kerb space counts.
Yes. Council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are in our name and included in the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in so the first night isn't spent on the phone to a provider. Your office sees none of it — just one monthly invoice.
That's the standard arrangement. Everything — rent, bills, cleaning — lands on one monthly invoice, paid by card, with no booking fees. Most companies just add us as a supplier once and then process the invoice like any other; there's no member fee or portal to join.
Tell us as soon as you know and we'll extend the stay, subject to the property's availability — in practice most extensions are simple. If the site itself moves, we can also re-shortlist around the new postcode so the crew isn't commuting an hour each way for the remaining weeks.

If Liss is short on the right house for your crew, Portsmouth is the obvious back-up, roughly 19 miles away. See our contractor accommodation Portsmouth page for what we hold there. Small crews are as welcome as big ones.
