As I know to my cost if you try and evict a tenant then don't expect all your costs to be covered.
It is possible to attempt to reclaim some of the charges including the court costs of £150.
However, miscellaneous costs including the time taken in researching and preparing the case may not be claimable. This is somewhat of a grey area and I have heard some views that it is possible to make a claim based on a proportion of the expected solicitors fees.
Any further clarification on this would be greatly appreciated.

I got approx £550 back when I evicted.
Landlord Action arranged it all for me, I didn't even ask.
I think it is discretionary depnding on the judge you get.
Not sure though.
Hi Javed, I've come across this article.http://blog.propertyhawk.co.uk/2009/09/court-costs-can-i-charge-for-my-time.html
In theory it is possible for landlords to claim back some of their time as legal costs. However, as you mentioned I'm sure a great deal of the success in this will be dependent on the Judge.
My understanding is that a litigant in person is entitled to two thirds of solicitors fixed costs
