Think Daz has covered everything there. Do a search on here about tiling on tiles and you will get a pretty good idea why pros dont like it. Also if the granite tiles are starting to lift I would say that it is pretty likely that the rest of the floor is going to do the same but its hard to say without seeing the job.

I don't think its good to tile on tile on the floor too, but I often do tile on tile on walls. I am tiling a splashback next week over an existing tiled wall.

Tile on tile is never a good idea, you don't know who fixed the existing tiles, or what adhesive / method used. Tiles may seem well fixed, but add the weight of the new tiles plus adhesive, you can see were I am going. Tile on tile on a floor has one thing going for it (gravity), on a wall gravity is working against you. Just my take on it, Duty of care, and all that.

Cant see the logic there to be honest mate...
