Another digital tool, for the entire spectrum of information surrounding properties—beyond the tax data that the Property Ownership and Management Registry (MIDA) aims to incorporate—is in the “pipeline” with the aim of strengthening transparency and reliability in the real estate market, facilitating transactions and public services, as well as supporting entrepreneurship and innovation through open data and analysis tools.
This is the Unified Property Hub (EKA), for which the Ministry of Digital Governance is issuing an invitation to market stakeholders to submit proposals to undertake the project.
According to the plan, the new hub will constitute a comprehensive digital infrastructure, which, in addition to gathering all property data, “will promote interoperability between public and private entities, contributing to the reduction of bureaucracy and more effective decision-making”.
As specifically stated in the invitation, “the subject of the project concerns the design, implementation, deployment and support of the productive operation of the Unified Property Hub and seeks to create an integrated information system, which will collect, systematize and integrate digital information maintained by different entities of the Public and Private Sector and concerns, overall, the data of the country’s properties (buildings, plots, etc.) as well as data on their exploitation/use (e.g. energy and telecommunications infrastructure, rentals, tax obligations, etc.)”.
Involvement in the RRF
It is worth noting that the project was initially included in the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) at the beginning of 2025, as a “Unified Property Registry” with the aim of creating the central interconnection infrastructure.
However, the project was not completed within the original timetable (which provided for a “premiere” or activation of certain phases in mid-2026), due to technical issues and “data inconsistency”.
The automatic interconnection and real-time synchronization between systems with completely different structures (such as the Cadastre, AADE, the Urban Planning Offices and DEDDIE) proved to be an extremely difficult undertaking. Discrepancies in square meters and ownership details between E9 and the Cadastre “blocked” the smooth flow of data.
As the Recovery Fund approaches its final milestone (with payment request deadlines pressing tightly), many complex digitization projects had to be redesigned, broken into sub-projects or retendered, in order to ensure the proper absorption of funds without losing the financing.
For this reason, the Ministry of Digital Governance is now proceeding with the necessary tender procedures, so that these technical and institutional “thorns” can be overcome and the platform can be implemented with the correct interoperability specifications.
A total of 3,720,000 euros will be allocated for the project (with funding from other Community programs (ESPA, etc.)). Proposals from stakeholders to undertake the project will be accepted until 30/11/2026.
Unified Hub and MIDA
The new digital tool for properties is essentially another piece in the big “puzzle” of the reform, and specifically of MIDA, the completion of which is delayed and may even be postponed until after the national elections, precisely because of the gaps that exist for its proper operation.
The Unified Property Hub constitutes the broader umbrella infrastructure being designed by the Ministry of Digital Governance, while MIDA (which is being implemented by AADE) constitutes one of the central pillars and “feeders” of this hub with tax data.
While MIDA focuses mainly on tax representation, use, leasing and the interconnection of E9 with the Cadastre (through the ATAK and KAEK codes), the Unified Property Hub comes to gather the entire spectrum of information for a property.
The goal is for data to be retrieved in real time without the citizen having to carry documents from service to service. The hub will function as the final digital environment that will gather data from different sources:
- From MIDA: it will receive tax data, leases, property use, income.
- From the Hellenic Cadastre: legal and geometric data, KAEK, plot boundaries.
- From the Urban Planning Offices: permits, building terms, Building Identity.
- From the Ministry of Environment & Energy: forest maps, Energy Performance Certificates (EPC).
- From DEDDIE & OTAs: electricity supply data, square meters for municipal fees.
