Armstrong - Reimbursement for real estate expenses IGEST: 1. The fact that transferred employee may have been incorrectly advised by his agency that 17. service charge or loan origination fee paid by him to secure mortgage for purchase of residencc was not a finance charge provides no basis for reimbursement of fee since such pay- ment is expressly precluded by Federal Travel Regulations (FPHR 101-7) para. 2-6.2d (May 1973). 2. Closing costs may not be reimbursed to employee who pays such costs when sell- ing residence at old duty station if local HUD office determines that it is customary for purchaser to pay such costs in that particular area as pro- vided in Federal Travel Regulations (FPIM 101-7) para. 2-6.3c (May 1973). 3. Where employee has been reimbursed for one termite inspection in connection with sale of residence at old duty station, cost of second inspection may not be reimbursed. 4. The fact that transferred employee was incorrectly advised by his agency that certain real estate expenses incurred by him during transfer were reimburs- able does not obligate the Governinent to reimburse such expenses. This action is in response to the request of Mr. Robert L. Armstrong, a Veterans Administration employee,for reconsideration of our Claims Division settlement of March 23, 1976, which dis- allowed his claim for certain real estate expenses incurred by him incident to a permanent change of station.
