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.
