United Arab Emirates

Working with Maritime Capital from the UAE

Distance is a logistics question, not an investment one, and the logistics are the easy part.

How do we start working with Maritime Capital?

UAE overview

It starts with a conversation with one of our Directors about the family’s goals, any UK property you already hold and how involved you want to be. From there we agree the scope of our role, whether that’s buying, managing or restructuring, and the team gets to work.

How will we be kept informed?

Every family gets a regular reporting structure set to suit them, whether that’s weekly, monthly or quarterly. Reports cover how each asset is performing and any decisions that need the family’s input, so you always know where things stand without chasing for updates.

What’s the minimum portfolio size?

We typically work with families and family offices with UK property portfolios of £50m or more, or with that level of capital to invest. Working with a select group of families means each one gets senior attention from the people who run the firm.

Our partners

How do you handle the time difference?

The UAE is three hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time and four hours ahead in winter, so a 9am call in London is lunchtime in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The working days overlap for most of the afternoon, which keeps decisions moving without anyone working through the night.

Who will we work with?

Your points of contact are our Directors, Toby Hunter and Max Hunter, supported by Neil Jeeves as Head of Property. Behind them, the Maritime HQ team in Richmond carries out the day-to-day work, from lease management and rent collection to accounting, facilities and reporting, so you deal with senior people while a full team delivers the service.

Your advisers

Can you work with our existing advisers?

Yes. Trusted advisers are built up over time, and we work with your lawyers, accountants and bankers rather than replacing them. Where you need UK specialists, we can introduce partners we’ve worked with for many years.
