Breckon & Breckon is an independent firm of Estate Agents established in 1947 and now operating from a network of six offices in the county of Oxfordshire. We are property professionals with many years of experience in the local market. Whilst we are constantly recommended by many firms of solicitors, high street banks and other institutions, we are very proud of the fact that the majority of our new business comes from the personal recommendations of past clients.
As a privately owned company we are able to react quickly to changes in the market. We constantly review our marketing, often setting new standards for other estate agents to follow. We were the first agents to run our entire newspaper advert in colour every week, one of the first to use virtual tours for their client’s properties and with this new website one of the first to bring property searches based on Google maps together with local school statistics. However, none of this innovation means a great deal if it is not backed up with the right staff. Breckon & Breckon has an enviable reputation and is seen as one of the most sought after companies to work for. Our staff are quite simply some of the most experienced property professionals that Oxfordshire has to offer.

01865 244735 simeon@breckon.co.uk
Simeon began his now long standing involvement with estate agency on the High Street in Oxford in 1988. After working for many years for a well known corporate estate agent across Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, and for five years with another, well respected agent in North Oxford, he decided it was time to shed the corporate shackles and share his experience with sellers and buyers alike. Returning to the High Street, and as an established member of the Breckon & Breckon team, he is thoroughly enjoying the freedom of expression that only an independent agency can bring.
