It could also invalidate his insurances. The insurance company won't care about the details, they will just won't pay out.
Insurers are less strict about this than they use to be.
Most are happy with people working from home who do clerical work or "computer" work. Even being a registered childminder is fine. What they don't want is loads of business visitors or you to hold stock in the property.
