Anakainizo 2026: how much you get — and what you must do after the renovation
Updated: September 2026
We find the tenant, collect the rent and send you a statement every month — paid only from rent that arrives.
«Ανακαινίζω 2026» subsidises the renovation of older homes (permit up to 1990, up to 120 m²) at 70%–80% of cost, capped at €300 per m² and €36,000 per dwelling. For a closed flat — one not used in 2024 and 2025 — the grant comes with one obligation: after the works it is let as the tenant's primary home, at a fixed rent for 3 years, no short-term letting, and it is not sold for 5 years.

No certificate, no application. No new deadline has been announced so far.
If a new round opens, we send you one message. A phone number, nothing else. And once it’s approved, the same number is all we need to take over the tenancy.
What the programme asks after the renovation — closed flats
The grant is not a gift to the house; it is a gift to the rental market. The commitments are written into the approval and checked:
Let as a primary home
The closed flat is let to someone who will declare it as their primary residence. Not a holiday let, not an office, not a favour to a friend.
Fixed rent for 3 years
The rent in the first lease stays the same for three years. So it has to be right on day one — neither low out of haste nor high enough to keep the flat empty.
No short-term letting, no subletting
Airbnb, subletting and lending the flat out are banned. The lease should say so explicitly, and the tenant should have signed it.
5 years without selling
Sell within five years and the whole grant is repaid. The same five years apply to the use: it stays a primary-home tenancy.
Commitments as published on the programme page. Details on monitoring and exceptions are in the approval decision you will receive.

Most of those commitments are about the tenancy
Who moves in, at what rent, on what long-term lease — that is the part we run.
