Williams - Real Estate Expenses - Unsuccessful Purchase Transaction Civilian employee of IRS, upon transfer, purchased residence at new duty station. He seeks reimbursement of dosts' f an appraisal and credit report in first attempt to purchase residence which was unsuccessful as property did not appraise for sufficient amount to permit FHA to guarantee loan. Employee then obtained conventional financing and was required to pay for new appraisal and credit report, for which he has been reimbursed. An employee may be reimbursed for only one set of authorized real estate expenses relating to one sale and one purchase. Hence, claim is disallowed. Mr. Donovan H. Williams, an employee of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of the Treasury, has appealed Settlement Certificate Z-2821936, April 25, 1980, issued by our Claims Group. The Certificate disallowed Mr. Williams' claim for reim- bursement of the expenses of an appraisal and a credit report incurred in connection with his unsuccessful attempt to secure FHA financing to purchase a residence incident to his transfer of official station from Chicago, Illinois, to Bolingbrook, Illinois, in April 1979. We hold that the claim may not be paid because dup- licate expenses relating to the purchase of a residence may not be reimbursed. Incident to his transfer of official station, Mr. Williams entered into a contract to purchase a residence under an FHA-guaranteed mortgage. On January 27, 1979, he completed the application papers and paid for the appraisal of the property and credit report in the sum of $75. On or about February 9, 1979, the mortgage company informed Mr. Williams that the property did not appraise for a sufficient amount so as to permit the FHA to guarantee the loan. The seller would not agree to a lesser amount under the THE COMqPTRLIER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. D. C. 20548 DATE: September 18, 1981
