Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Greek government launched an electronic application platform for the "Ανακαίνιση Κατοικίας" program to fund housing renovations and energy upgrades.
The initiative aims to utilize existing building stock by returning unused properties to the market and improving living conditions in primary residences. The program targets households with low to middle incomes, offering grants that cover between 70% and 95% of technical costs. The maximum funding for technical renovation and energy improvement works reaches 36,000 euros.
Additionally, the program provides up to 2,500 euros for supporting consultancy services. Eligible works include remodeling kitchens and bathrooms, replacing flooring and doors, and maintaining electrical and hydraulic networks. The project also covers structural repairs, plastering, and internal rearrangements to improve accessibility. To qualify, every proposal must combine renovation tasks with energy upgrades that improve the property's energy rating by at least one level.
Applicants must first obtain a "Βεβαίωσης Επιλεξιμότητας" (Eligibility Certificate) for the property before submitting a formal request. The Technical Chamber of Greece (Τεχνικό Επιμελητήριο Ελλάδος) manages the electronic system where residents submit their "Σχέδιο Παρεμβάσεων" (Intervention Plan). This plan details the proposed works and their costs to determine the final subsidy amount. The application period remains open until January 11, 2027.
