Nova Appoints Andrew Smith as Commercial Director

Nova, a conveyancing partner for estate agents and mortgage brokers, has appointed Andrew Smith as its new commercial director. The company states that this move is aimed at supporting Nova’s next stage of growth and strengthening its partner proposition.

Smith brings over 20 years of experience in commercial leadership and business development across the property and technology sectors. His previous roles include senior leadership positions at CoStar Group, where he spent more than a decade, as well as at Nordic PropTech and FinTech business Navian Group, and most recently at Property Finder in the UAE.

In his new position, Smith will lead Nova’s commercial strategy. He will work closely with estate agents, mortgage brokers, and other introducers. His responsibilities will include developing strategic partnerships, strengthening existing relationships, and helping to build the commercial structure and processes to support Nova’s growth.

This appointment may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks who work with conveyancing partners, as Nova’s focus on partnership development and commercial strategy could impact collaboration and service delivery in the property sector.
