Can I enter the property?

Your verbal Notice has no effect, proceed with Formal written Notice asap.
Send her min 24 hr Notice of intended inspection only, T would have to contact you to rearrange a more convenient time/date beforehand. If she is in, don't try to enter without her permission.
Ask Council TRO to accompany you on inspection, as a witness.
Sounds like it will cost you ~£500 to evict T after min 4 months
Why have earlier inspections not been conducted?

do you get your rent (eventually) every month? perhaps an option is to increase the rent anyway without a new tenancy being created, assuming your current tenancy agreement allow for this. then get the tenant to use the deposit as rent money, explain that gives her a 'rent holiday' so its not seen as a blatant return of rent, then wait six years to evict! so long as you do actually receive rent each month, it doesn't matter whether you have a good relationship or not !!! you only rent it out to receive the money from someone .....
