Hose Rhodes Dickson

Hose Rhodes Dickson (often abbreviated HRD) is an estate and letting agency based on the Isle of Wight, England. Founded in 1990 by Jeff Hose and Mark Rhodes, the firm opened its first office in Ventnor. In 1992, Richard Dickson joined the team and a second office was opened in Sandown, giving the business its enduring name. Over more than three decades, Hose Rhodes Dickson has grown to operate seven offices across the Isle of Wight, becoming one of the island's best-known property services brands. The company provides a comprehensive range of residential property services under one roof, including estate agency (selling and buying), lettings and property management (for landlords and tenants), and mortgage advice. It also works with land and development clients, collaborating with planning and architecture professionals to identify development opportunities and market new homes. Its letting services cover full management, rent collection, and let-only options, supported by a database of active tenants. Hose Rhodes Dickson positions itself as a local specialist, emphasising deep island knowledge — schools, communities, beaches, and property stock — and a personalised, high-standard service. The firm is a committed member of ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents) and The Property Ombudsman, signalling adherence to industry standards. Its marketing highlights customer satisfaction ratings of around 4.5 to 4.6 out of 5 from hundreds of reviews, and it reports having sold £50 million worth of property in 2023, with over 2,100 active buyers and investors and more than 600 landlords letting with the agency. In 2022, the business was acquired by Leaders Romans Group (LRG), a larger UK property services group. Despite the change in ownership, Hose Rhodes Dickson continues to trade under its established local brand, and some of the original team members remain with the company. The agency maintains a strong local presence and continues to serve buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants across the Isle of Wight.

Hose Rhodes Dickson was founded in 1990 by Jeff Hose and Mark Rhodes, who opened the firm's first office in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. The business grew quickly, and in 1992 Richard Dickson joined the team, leading to the opening of a second office in Sandown. The partnership of the three names gave the agency its identity: Hose Rhodes Dickson. Over the following decades, the company expanded across the Isle of Wight, eventually operating seven offices. It built a reputation as a local specialist in residential sales and lettings, offering services for buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. The agency also developed expertise in land and development, working with planning and architecture professionals to bring new homes to market. In 2022, Hose Rhodes Dickson was acquired by Leaders Romans Group (LRG), a major UK property services group. The acquisition brought the Isle of Wight agency into a larger corporate family while allowing it to retain its local brand and some of its original staff. As of the mid-2020s, the firm continues to trade under the Hose Rhodes Dickson name, serving the island's property market with a network of branches and a comprehensive service range.
