I know some firms pay some of the expenses involved in selling and buying houses; could you give me any idea as to what amount I should ask my employer to pay.
AThe best advice we can give you on this is that you ask your employer to pay all the expenses. We know that the Transport and General Workers' Union recently negotiated a new agreement with BRS for payment of all expenses up to a maximum of £250 for house purchase and all expenses up to a maximum of £100 for house sale, plus agents' fees subject to a maximum of 200.
We suggest you try to recover either all the expenses or the same as those to which B RS employees are entitled.
