Adkin

Two Centuries of Oxfordshire Rural Expertise

We aren't just surveyors; we are part of the fabric of the Oxfordshire countryside. Following our merger with the historic firm Adkin—originally established in 1793—our Oxford office in Ardington brings together over 230 years of local heritage with the modern, national capabilities of Brown&Co.

Based in the picturesque village of Ardington on the Lockinge Estate, we have transformed from a traditional auctioneer into a highly regarded, multi-disciplinary practice. Our business is built on an in-depth knowledge of the environment in which we work and the long-standing links we have forged with the farming and rural community.

Why the Oxfordshire Farming Community Trusts Us

Our team specialises in providing a comprehensive range of rural land agency services and agricultural business management consultancy. We understand that rural property is more than just an asset; it is often a family legacy and a livelihood.

"Our strength lies in our history. We combine the traditional values of a firm founded in the 18th century with the forward-thinking strategies required for modern agriculture and development."
