RULES UNDER THE FIRST SCHEDULE
A solicitor shall act only for the vendor/transferor or the purchaser/transferee and the remuneration of the solicitor shall be in accordance with the applicable scale fee specified based on the consideration for, or the adjudicated value of, the transaction.
A solicitor acting for the purchaser may also act for his client in the subsequent sale.
A solicitor acting for the purchaser may also act for his client in the financing transaction.
In a transaction involving a property put up by a solicitor for sale by public auction on behalf of his client-
if the property is sold - the remuneration of the vendor's solicitor for conducting the sale (including drafting and settling conditions of sale) shall be the full scale fee specified based on the sale price of the property;
if the same solicitor thereafter acts for the vendor to complete the transaction (including investigating the title, preparing, perusing and completing the instrument of transfer), his additional remuneration shall be 50% of the full scale fee specified based on the sale price of the property;
the remuneration of the purchaser's solicitor shall be the full scale fee specified based on the sale price of the property; and
where a property held under the same title is divided into lots for convenience of sale and the same purchaser buys several such lots and one transfer is effected in respect of such lots, the remuneration of the solicitor specified in subparagraphs 4(a)(i), (ii) and shall be based on the aggregate prices of such lots;
if the property is not sold, the remuneration of the vendor's solicitor (including drafting and settling conditions of sale) shall be-
50% of the full scale fee specified based on the reserve price;
if there is no reserve price, 50% of the full scale fee specified based on the highest bid as certified in writing by the auctioneer;
or
if there is no reserve price and no bid, in accordance with rule 1 of the Sixth Schedule;
if the property is not sold at the first attempt but is sold at a subsequent attempt, the remuneration of the vendor's solicitor for the first attempt shall be in accordance with subparagraph 4(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), and for the subsequent successful attempt, the remuneration of the vendor's solicitor shall be the full scale fee based on the sale price of the property; and if the property is not sold after two or more attempts, the remuneration of the vendor's solicitor for the first attempt shall be in accordance with subparagraph 4(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) and for each subsequent unsuccessful attempt, the remuneration of the vendor's solicitor shall be in accordance with rule 1 of the Sixth Schedule; and
where a property held under the same title is divided into lots for convenience of sale, the remuneration of the vendor's solicitor specified in subparagraph 4(b)(i) and (ii) shall be based on the aggregate of the reserve prices, or if there are no reserve prices, the aggregate of the highest bids as certified in writing by the auctioneer.
The scale of fees in this Schedule shall also apply to transfers of charges and leases, based on the consideration for such transfers or the adjudicated value.
In addition to any other fees payable to a solicitor under this Order, a solicitor who arranges-
a sale for a vendor (other than a sale by public auction in which event rule 4 of this Schedule shall apply); or
a purchase by a purchaser, and negotiates the price and terms and conditions thereof, shall be entitled to an additional negotiating fee equivalent to the full scale fee specified in this Schedule.
The remuneration specified in this Schedule shall be inclusive of all normal and necessary attendances up to the completion of the transaction, including the drawing up of a sale and purchase agreement and the preparation and registration of the instrument of transfer or the deed of assignment where no individual document of title or strata title has been issued.
