You don''t want to have to replace the knob and tube wiring after you have installed new tiles.
For example, knob and tube wiring discovered by an appraiser during the mortgage process represents a material risk for insurers, who typically have the option of relying on the homeowner to provide this information, or spending time and money to order an inspection.
Insurance is difficult to obtain (and often more costly) if you or your investment property have any of the following "red flags": * You live more than 100km away from the property * The property has knob and tube wiring * The roof is older than 7 years * You have had a claim on any of your properties * The property is in poor condition * The plumbing has not been updated in the past 10 years or so.
