Under applicable law and regulations, necessary and reaFfonable legal fees and coats incurred by reason of the purchase or sale of a residence inci- dent to a permanent change of station may be reimbursed provided tint the costs are within the customary range of charges for such services with- in the locality of the residence trans- action. Since the employee's claim for attorney fees is ih excess of maximum range established for resi- dence transactions in hei locality by Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment, her claim is danird. A transferred employee incurred attorney fees in con- nection with the purchase of a residence at i.sr new duty station. The issue presented for our consideration here is whether the employee may be reimbursed for those co3ts in an amount which is greater than the customary range of charges for such services within the locality of the resi- dence transaction. We h9ld that the employee is limited to the avnr,'u t customarily charged in the locality. Mr. Henry E. Rollins, Director of the Atlanta Regional Accounting Division, Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment (HUD), has requested an advance decision concerning the reclaim voucher of Ms. Judy Wynekoop for reimbursement of attorney fees incurred in the purchase of her Atlanta resi- dence. kLI 0 Fo,
