Rightmove hires David Cox to help agents stay on top of compliance

David Cox joins Rightmove next week in the newly-created role of Legal & Compliance Director.

One of his primary responsibilities will be to bolster its extensive training programme, making sure that Rightmove agents get the most up-to-date guidance on legislation changes in the industry.

As ARLA’s former CEO, David brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in lettings, legislation and government interaction.

Rightmove’s Head of Estate Agency, Dave Anderson, said: “We’re excited to have David join us, as he has offered best-in-class help and guidance to agents over the years with the various changes in legislation that have come their way. With the abolition of Section 21 and agent regulation on the horizon, his legal knowledge and his experience of engaging with government will help us to deliver real-time updates and help for our members.”

David Cox said: “For most of my career I’ve been helping the property industry with compliance to ensure agents are always operating at their very best. At this critical juncture for the industry, joining Rightmove enables me to take forward this work and continue supporting the agents we serve.”

Rightmove’s ever-growing webinar programme has been watched by over 40,000 agents so far this year. A new monthly webinar from David will help agents understand the latest changes in the industry.
