You squawk a lot about the impossibility of insuring houses with K&T wiring.
I can tell you for a fact, as a licensed electrical contractor for over
thirty years, I have MANY customers in Westchester county, NY with K&T in
their homes, and believe it or not, they ALL have homeowner insurance

For $40,000 the buyer should expect a few things not to be perfect.
A buyer insisted I pay for a new roof. Sure, it needed a new roof, but
so
what?
The next week I sold for the full asking price.

So, unless $40,000 is too high you shouldn't be thinking of fixing
anything.

when was that? sorry its no longer a sellers market and the fact
remains most insurance companies will not write new policies on home
with K&T and a buyer CANT buy a home without homeowners insurance and
even a cash buyer will want homeowners.......

Thje OPs home isnt saleable as is and this problem must by law be
disclosed to all future buyers.

It cost big bucks to keep a vacant home alive, insurance, utilities,
repairs.

might be better off to reconsider that buyer................

there is NO FIX short of rewiring that will make that K&T disappear
