Local authority, sale to tenant-purchaser by
way of lease
On a report from a committee the council inter
preted the resolution reported in the Society's
GAZETTE in June 1955 authorising reduced fees as
follows. Where the sale is effected by means of a
lease reserving a fine and a rent. A solicitor who
adopts the Society's resolution will charge the com
mission scale fee of i £% on the amount of the fine
(subject to the stated minimum of £10 os. od.). If
the purchaser is separately represented his solicitor
will charge the same fee. Where the same solicitor
acts for lessor and lessee he will charge the same fees
in respect of each and if the lessee is bound to
indemnify the local authority he will be responsible
for all the costs payable by vendor and purchaser.
*Rule 2 schedule i, part 2, S.R.G.O. 1884 provides
that where a solicitor is concerned for both vendor
and purchaser or lessor and lessee he is to charge
one set of charges only. Where the lessor's solicitor
also acts for the lessee and charges the reduced scale
of costs in the Society's resolution he is entitled to
charge each party separately provided that all the
appropriate work is carried out as specified in the
general order and that the amount so charged will
not exceed the total costs which would be charge
able under the full scale without any reduction if
the solicitor had acted for the lessor only.
The
charges are inclusive but an addition of £2 28. od.
may be made where there is an instrument giving
effect to collateral security or guarantee.
*N6t applicable to outright sales by assignment.
