Brand was the third son of Henry Brand, 1st Viscount Hampden, second son of Henry Trevor, 21st Baron Dacre. His mother was Eliza, daughter of General Robert Ellice, while Henry Brand, 2nd Viscount Hampden, was his elder brother. He entered Parliament for Wisbech in an 1891 by-election, and served in the Liberal administration of the Earl of Rosebery as Treasurer of the Household from 1894 to 1895. He lost his seat in the 1895 general election, but was again elected for Wisbech in 1900. Two years later he indicated in late 1902 to his constituency association that he would not contest the seat again,[1] but he held the seat until the next election in 1906.

Brand married Edith, daughter of Joseph Ingram, in 1886. She died in April 1903. Brand survived her by fourteen years and died in January 1917, aged 63.
