C. 20548 FILE: B-163425 DATE: November 7, 3978 MATTER OF: Allowances for expenses incurred in connection with residence transactions DIGEST: An employee who is transferred may be reimbursed for simtlar or identical expenses with respect to real, estate transactions at the new as well as the old official duty station, if otherwise allow- able. In both instances they must be expenses that are customarily paid by the seller at the old station and by the purchaser at the new sta- tion, not to exceed the amounts customprily paid in the locality of the residence being sold or purchased.
