WHY NOW
1
An EPC is required to sell
Every Greek sale needs an energy performance certificate at the notary. A poor rating is now a number every buyer sees, and it shapes the price.
2
Standards are tightening
The EU's revised EPBD is bringing minimum energy standards for existing homes. Greece is transposing them now, with the thresholds being finalized.
3
Hot, costly, falling behind
Older homes are expensive to run and uncomfortable in summer. Upgrading protects the asset's value as much as the comfort of living in it.
WHO QUALIFIES
The grant is for primary residences. The route differs for everyone else.
★
A primary residence (or soon to be)
Relocators, retirees, non-dom movers and Golden Visa buyers who make the property their main home can qualify, as can owners letting long-term to a registered tenant. Foreign ownership is not a barrier in itself, and a lower Greek income can place you in the highest support band.
☼
A holiday or second home
Not eligible for the main grant, so we deliver the same upgrade on a privately financed basis, focused on the coming standards, running costs and comfort. Rooftop solar with battery storage may apply depending on the rules, which we verify for your address.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Eligibility Check
A 30-minute video call in English. An indicative read on grant, private upgrade or neither yet, plus a checklist. €139, credited in full if you continue.
2
Turnkey Package
We coordinate the energy assessment, the licensed professionals, the grant application and the build through one design-build contractor. In English, to one standard.
3
Management
After handover, optional ongoing management of the property and its systems, so the upgrade keeps performing and you keep one contact on the ground.
WHY KG NORDIC ADVISORY
You pay us, so we work for you. We take no hidden kickbacks, and we never add a commission on top of a subsidized invoice. The contractor invoices you directly, and our fee is for advice, coordination and management, never a markup on the grant.
We are a Nordic team applying Nordic project discipline to Greek execution, delivered in English and to the same standard regardless of who runs your project. References from completed projects are available on request.
FAQ
How much state support can I get?
For a qualifying primary residence, the Exoikonomo program covers up to 80% of eligible costs, with eligible costs up to around €24,800 and an owner contribution from around €5,000, VAT included. The exact figures and opening date are confirmed at the start of each cycle, with the 2026 round expected in autumn. We confirm what applies to your address in the eligibility check.
Can a holiday or second home get the grant?
No. The main grant is for primary residences only. For a second home we deliver the same upgrade on a privately financed basis, focused on the coming standards, running costs and comfort, and we check whether rooftop solar programs apply to your property.
I live abroad. Can I still qualify?
Foreign ownership is not a barrier in itself. What matters is how the property is used and registered. Relocators, retirees and Golden Visa buyers who make it their main home, and owners who let long-term, can qualify. We assess your situation directly.
What is the €139 Eligibility Check?
A 30-minute video call in English, an indicative assessment of whether you qualify for a grant, a privately financed upgrade or neither yet, and a follow-up email with a checklist and next steps. It is credited in full toward your project if you continue with us.
Do you add a fee on top of the subsidy?
No. The contractor invoices you directly and we never mark up subsidized costs. Our fee is for advice, coordination and management. That independence is the point, and it is the part a local competitor cannot copy.
