Dain Maddox - Real Estate Expenses Appraisal Fee DIQEST: 1. A transferred employee agreed to purchase as a residence at his new duty station a structure being extensively renovated for that pur- pose which required as a condition of financing additional site inspec- tions. Basic reimbursement for appraisal expense was allowed by the agency, but expense of additional inspections disallowed. On reclaim, disallowance is sustained. Under FTR para. 2-6.2d, only expenses associated with existing residence purchase are allowed, and while renovation of an existing structure is not new residence construction, it is analogous so as to preclude reim- bursement. 2. A transferred employee purchased as a residence at his new station a struc- ture being extensively renovated for that purpose. The employee is occupy- ing the second and third floors as his residence, reserving the first floor for tenant occupancy, a commercial venture. Under FTR para. 2-6.1f, expenses of residence purchase shall be prorated for multiple occupancy dwellings which are only partially occupied by the employee. Since employee was not occupying one-third of the structure, expenses related to residence purchase which would be otherwise reimbursable to him are to be reduced by one-third. 55 Comp. Gen. 747 (1976).
