Quinquennial Inspection Finances

5. FINANCES

1. The Fund shall pay the Quinquennial Inspector's principal fee, on behalf of the PCC. The rate or rates for the principal fee shall be set by The Fund and reviewed annually for the church or class of churches or all churches in the Diocese, at the discretion of The Fund.
2. The principal fee payable shall be a fixed lump sum for the church concerned, and one such fee shall be payable by the Fund for each separate building in regular use as a consecrated or licensed place of worship, together with its contents and curtilage where applicable (items 3(a)(i)-(vi)).
3. Where applicable, VAT shall be paid additionally by The Fund at the current rate.
4. The following items may be liable to reasonable additional fees, payable by the PCC, including any VAT thereupon:-
   1. All parts ordered to be included in the inspection by the PCC or others under 3(b)(i)-(v);
   2. Additional inspection of any fixture under 3(b)(vi) above other than by the Quinquennial Inspector (see also 4(b) );
   3. All previously arranged attendance (see 4(c) ); and in addition, any opening up found to be necessary in particular cases during the inspection, and reasonably requested by the Inspector not being able to be carried out by him;
   4. Any further expert advice pursuant to 4(a);
   5. Any measurement or preparation of plan(s) and/or other drawings, other than a site plan and key plan of the building;
   6. Any design and specification work for repairs arising from the inspection, which would be the subject of separate commissions and instructions by the PCC.
5. The basis of such additional fees shall be a matter for negotiation between the PCC and the Quinquennial Inspector and/or other expert or contractor before any inspection is undertaken. In cases of difficulty, the Archdeacon shall act as referee.
6. If any parts of the church interior, which have been divided from the consecrated parts by a scheme under the Pastoral Measure or are licensed for use by persons other than the Parish, are instructed to be included in an inspection, this work may also be subject to an additional fee, which will not be payable by The Fund (see 1(e)(iii) ).
7. Other than the foregoing, the fixed fee payable by The Fund shall be deemed to include all normal disbursements and expenses incurred by the Quinquennial Inspector.
