Buy-to-let property can be an excellent investment.
Just take into account the possible difficulty, cost and delay of evicting a defaulting tenant – or indeed any unlawful occupier - who refuses to budge. It’s an entirely manageable risk if you take steps to do so upfront, and if you have factored it into your initial calculations.
A recent Constitutional Court decision shows how the risk for landlords has increased, and how, particularly when homelessness could result from an eviction order, you may have to prepare for a longer haul in the courts than you perhaps anticipated.
