A Family Run Business
Our Liss Sales branch is a busy little office situated in the heart of Liss Village. The office itself is located adjacent to the mainline train station to London.
This is an ideal location, not only due to the busy footfall as commuters pass on their way to and from work, but also local residents popping to the shops or out for a leisurely walk.

How it all started…
The Liss sales branch ‘Chapplins of Liss’ was established in 2010 by William Newell, following on from the then Bordon office which he helped to establish in 1996.
William specifically wanted to create a friendly, local village estate agency which could not only cater for local residents and their properties, but a branch that would become a distinctive part of the local village community.
- So he did just that!
Now, almost 14 years on...
Since William’s sudden death in 2021, the reins of running the business have now passed on to William’s son, Ashley, who completed his and his father’s latest project, opening a dedicated lettings department in Liss (next door to sales).

Our Sales Director, Tom Garrad, steers the sales department alongside our Sales Manager, Peter Turton, ensuring that anyone enquiring about selling or buying properties in the area are listened to and catered for. Tom and Peter have combined experience of over 40 years’ in the property industry and pride themselves on delivering a bespoke service to each of our clients as they believe that all properties, just like their owners, are individual.
Anna, William’s daughter, works alongside Tom and Peter focussing mainly on the business compliance, social media, marketing and community events. She also assists with the smooth running of both the sale and letting offices and works with all members of the company.
