You’ve won your possession order. You think the nightmare is over. Then you’re told the wait for a County Court Bailiff is 6, 7, or even 8.5 months. In London, this delay means average rent arrears escalate to over £19,000. The system is broken.

In this episode, Noel Cardona gives a brutally honest breakdown of the UK's eviction enforcement crisis. He explains the critical difference between a County Court Bailiff and a private High Court Enforcement Officer (HCEO). This isn't just about speed; it's about making a commercial decision. Is it worth paying £1,500+ for an HCEO to save yourself £10,000 in lost rent? For any serious investor, the answer is a resounding yes.

This is the kind of strategic, real-world knowledge that separates professional landlords from amateurs.
