Hi everyone,

I am in the process of applying for a flat in a build to rent property in England.

We actually own a property in Scotland where I have lived since 2018 and do not have a mortgage.

The reason for the short rental is to see whether we actually like the area before committing.

However.... on the application it asks "Any criminal records?" No reference to spent or unspent.

I was given a 2 year suspended sentence for fraud in 20215, so my conviction became spent on 25th February 2021.

I am not sure if I should answer yes or no here.

It is spent, however that's not what the question is.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
