Up to 95% Home Renovation Grant – Get Up to €36,000 for Old and Vacant Homes

If you own an old or long-vacant property, the new "Exoikonomo 2026" 

could help you renovate your home with a grant covering up to 95% of the renovation costs, with funding of up to €36,000 per property. The initiative aims to bring older homes back into use by supporting both renovation and energy-efficiency upgrades

What Does the Program Cover?

The grant supports a wide range of renovation and energy improvement works, including:

• Kitchen and bathroom renovations.

• Electrical and plumbing upgrades.

• Flooring replacement and interior repairs

• Installation of new energy-efficient windows and doors

• Thermal insulation

• Solar water heaters or heat pumps

• Other improvements that increase the home's energy efficiency

These upgrades can significantly reduce energy consumption while improving the comfort and value of your property

Who Is Eligible?

To qualify for the program, applicants must meet specific income and property requirements

The main income limits are:

• Single applicants: Annual income up to €25,000

• Married couples (without children): Household income up to €35,000

• Additional allowance: €5,000 for each dependent child

  
  

In addition, the property must:

• Be at least 20 years old

• Have remained vacant for more than three years

  
  

Why Should You Apply?

Renovating an older property offers much more than a modern appearance. It can increase your home's market value, lower energy bills, improve everyday comfort, and make the property suitable for either long-term rental or personal use.

If you meet the eligibility requirements, this program is an excellent opportunity to complete essential renovation work while significantly reducing your out-of-pocket expenses
