Subsidized Residences

The eligible residence is the detached house, the apartment building, and the individual apartment. It is emphasized that in no case are the properties of the building that are not used for residence eligible (e.g., a shop on the ground floor of the building).

To be considered eligible, a residence must meet the following conditions:

  1. It is used as the primary residence, as indicated by the most recent (prior to the application submission) cleared income tax declaration (E1) of the person using it.
  2. It exists legally. In the case where the owner of the residence does not have a building permit or it does not meet the current condition of the residence, a relevant legal document must be provided, indicating that the residence exists legally.
  3. It has been classified based on the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), issued after 26.11.2017, in a category lower or equal to D.
  4. It has not been deemed for demolition.

It is noted that due to electronic cross-checks of the residence details entered in the application with the corresponding details declared to the tax authority, it is necessary for the income tax declaration of the occupant (E1) and the real estate declaration (E9) to include the property's electricity supply number.

To be considered an eligible apartment building, in addition to the above, the following cumulative conditions must be satisfied:

  1. After a decision of the general assembly, a relevant application is submitted by a representative of all owners of the apartments with information regarding the satisfaction of the eligibility criteria of the building part used as a residence, as well as individual applications from each apartment owner wishing to participate in the program.
  2. The Energy Performance Certificate must cover the entire part of the building used as a residence.
  3. Common energy upgrade interventions are carried out.

Owners of apartments that do not qualify or do not wish to participate in the program contribute to the implementation of the interventions declared in the General Assembly decision of the apartment building with the same shares.

Note: Eligible are also the residences of par.2, article 82 of Law 4495/2017 (Government Gazette 167/A/03.11.2017) (for case z of par.2 of the above article, the entire single special fine must be paid).
