Issued eviction notice - feeling anxious!

Hi, I have instructed a solicitor to issue a notice of eviction to a tenant who has been trouble from beginning to end. The solicitor is very upbeat and specialises in this area, so seems very calm and enthusiastic but Im feeling petrified and have 101 "what if"'s floating round in my head. Has anyone else gone through this process and can you assure me there is light at the end of a very nasty and messy tunnel??!
Feel free to thank me, it makes my toes tingle and my ears go warm :T

Yes - there is light at the end of the tunnel...but sometimes it's a very long tunnel
Has your solicitor issued a section 8 or a section 21? You don't have to do it through a solicitor, but if you are not confident doing it yourself perhaps it's better.
As for the hundreds of questions - join a LL's association now. They have free helplines, and will answer all your questions, without racking up further legal bills

Thank's Sooz! He's actually issued a Notice to Quit and an AT6 form as the property is in Scotland, but that is the equivalent of a section 8. We just felt because there were so many issues re our own safety (tenant has very dodgy connections) that it was safer that way. Thankyou for the recommendation to join an association. Do you have one that you ahve used before? Thankyou again!Feel free to thank me, it makes my toes tingle and my ears go warm :T0

Have you got an eye on costs?0

The two large LL's associations I know of are the NLA and the RLA. I'm not sure if either are appropriate for a property in Scotland.
I found this one http://www.scottishlandlords.com/ for Scotland, but I've never used them.0
