UAE Real Estate Investor Access — frequently asked questions
Quality deal flow in this market is relationship-routed; what reaches cold inboxes has usually been passed over — access is the product.
Senior secured real estate debt prices in the low-to-mid teens, mezzanine and preferred equity higher, and bulk acquisitions embed the discount as day-one value.
Through relationships — quality deal flow is originated privately, and what circulates widely has usually been passed over; partner-curated access is the product.
Senior secured development lending typically prices in the low-to-mid teens, with mezzanine and preferred equity above that — secured on assets in a regulated escrow regime.
Mortgage registration, escrow-account mechanics and enforcement timelines differ from Western markets — underwriting standards must be local, which is what we provide.
Matchpoint structures the full capital stack for UAE developers — senior secured debt, mezzanine with LandCo control, project finance, land acquisition finance, Sukuk and private credit, plus JV equity and bulk inventory sales. Tickets range from USD 5m to USD 500m+.
Land acquisition finance is bridge or term debt to fund the purchase of development land before construction. We arrange programmes — including Sukuk and private credit at ~8.5%–12% target yields — for developers in Yas Island, Reem Island, SZR and Dubai Islands.
A bulk inventory sale is the disposal of a block of completed or off-plan units to a single investor or institution at a negotiated discount. We run bulk SPA, OQOOD assignment and milestone-payment processes for developers seeking liquidity.
Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
