Why do you need specialist insurance if your tenants have unspent criminal convictions?

Most standard Home Insurance policies will become invalid if someone living in a property has an unspent criminal conviction. In order for your policy to be valid, this would have to be agreed with your insurer, however, many do not provide cover for this.

Whilst you are not legally required as a private landlord to ask whether your tenants have any criminal convictions, many home insurers will require you to notify them if anyone living in the property has an unspent criminal conviction.

As such, you are likely to require a specialist home insurance policy which can be difficult to find. At Fresh-Start we can provide you with exactly that, Home Insurance for Landlords with tenants who have unspent criminal convictions.

Criminal Convictions and Home Insurance Fact Sheet

1. How Does Having a Conviction Affect My Insurance

If you have a criminal conviction, your current home insurance is likely to be invalidated, unless the insurers are aware of it and have agreed cover. If you don’t have prior approval and need to make a claim on your insurance policy, you may be declined, potentially leaving you out-of-pocket.

2. If I’m living with others, do they need to disclose my conviction to their insurer?

Yes. The unspent criminal convictions of anyone in a household can also affect the home and contents insurance policy, even if the homeowner doesn’t have a conviction themselves.

3. Why do I need to disclose unspent convictions?

When applying for insurance or renewing your policy, you will be asked if you have any unspent criminal convictions. Failure to tell your insurance company about unspent convictions can invalidate your insurance policy.

4. What is the difference between spent and unspent convictions?

A spent criminal conviction means the rehabilitation period has been completed. Convictions resulting in a prison sentence of over 4 years are never spent. As a result, they must always be disclosed.

Under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, most convictions can be considered spent after a certain about of time. You can learn more about the time frames relating to your own situation here: Frequently Asked Questions.

5. Do I need to disclose spent convictions?

No. A conviction is spent once the rehabilitation period has been completed. For more information, go to: Frequently Asked Questions.

6. Does an unspent conviction, mean I will be turned down by all insurers?

No. Specialists such as Fresh Start Insurance Services can usually provide home and contents coverage that will meet your needs.

7. What will happen if I don’t disclose an unspent conviction?

Your existing insurance is likely to be invalidated. If you need to make a claim on your policy you may be turned down, even though you have paid your insurance premiums.

8. Will a criminal conviction make my insurance more expensive?

This will depend on the kind of policy you are seeking. Generally, yes, however, obtaining insurance through a specialist service helps you avoid paying more than necessary.

9. Do I need to know the rebuild costs of my property?

It is always sensible to know the rebuild costs for your property and in order to take out a Fresh Start policy, you will need to provide this information.
