About The Firm
Brown&Co was formed in 1993 following a management buyout from Royal Life Estates. Since then, the firm has grown substantially and today we are a leading provider of agency, professional and consultancy services across rural, commercial, and residential property, agriculture, and the environment.
From an increasing network of offices throughout East Anglia, the Midlands, and the Yorkshire and Humber region, as well as overseas, we combine a high level of specialist technical expertise with experience and local knowledge.
The firm is committed to building strong, proactive, and long-term relationships with both corporate and private clients, striving to deliver the best results and total satisfaction.
Our well-trained and enthusiastic staff are encouraged by the partners to actively participate in the firm's future development and success.
Following the merger and acquisition with the rural firm Adkin in 2025, our Oxford office is based in the picturesque village of Ardington on the Lockinge Estate.
Adkin, established in 1793, has transformed from an auctioneer and printing firm to a highly regarded Oxford-based rural surveying and development practice.
The business specializes in rural land agency services, residential and commercial lettings and sales, and agricultural business management consultancy.
