In any case where the Superintendent sells any security in exercise of the power of sale conferred by the mortgage, he may accept from the purchaser a fresh mortgage for the whole or any part of the purchase-money (provided that the amount of such fresh mortgage does not exceed the total amount owing under the original mortgage) without requiring compliance with the provisions of the said Acts and the regulations thereunder relating to the Valuer’s report, the valuation, the margin of security, and the payment of the valuation-fees; and in any such case those provisions shall not apply.

   (2.) That the existing mortgage shall be discharged, and separate mortgages be given by the mortgagor and purchaser in respect of the residue and part sold respectively;
   the Superintendent may waive the payment of the prescribed valuation-fee in respect of the transaction:
   Provided that with respect to every such mortgage the General Board shall be satisfied that the prescribed margin of security exists.
