Who we are
Elliott SheppardFounder & Principal
Bickley Capital helps private investors buy UAE property on the strength of evidence rather than sales pressure.
Elliott founded Bickley Capital after a decade in financial services, advising clients on high-value, long-term decisions. He works with investors across the UK, Europe and the Gulf, offering a discreet, highly selective service built on direct access and trusted relationships.
Every recommendation comes with a written rationale: the case for the asset, the infrastructure behind it, the developer's record, and a plain account of what could go wrong.
Experience
Ten years advising clients in financial services, applied to one of the world's fastest-moving property markets.
Candour
We will tell you when a project doesn't meet our standard, even when that means no transaction.
Our framework
Three tests, every time
An opportunity reaches a client only after it has passed all three.
Infrastructure
