Following the announcement of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the TIF for new tax reliefs to new employees, professionals, retirees and owners, attention is now crowned with the housing issue, accelerating the implementation of interventions aimed at relief in housing.
This is a reduction of 25% from 35% of the tax rate for rents ranging from 12,000 to 24,000 euros and full abolition by 2027 (reduction to 50% in 2026) of ENFIA in settlements below 1,500 inhabitants. The government is also studying the expansion to new areas of Athens of the ban on new short -term leases in an effort to decompress the market for housing by factors that intensify the lack of supply and increase prices.
The next intervention front will be that of social consideration as well as arrangements that will allow the services to launch houses in their possession, but their sale faces obstacles. These service properties are estimated at over 30,000, a number capable of breathing in a market that faces a great deal of close offering.
Of course, the most meaningful intervention to increase housing supply will be that of social consideration. The bill that was passed this week paves the way for the government to proceed rapidly in the implementation of what it provides. The new law utilizes public properties that remain unused. Private manufacturers will take them through competitions to build new apartments of which at least 30% will be available to the State to give them a low rent to young people, families and vulnerable households. The rest of the apartments will be available for sale on the market by manufacturers by increasing the stock of housing. The land announced for the institution of social consideration belong to the ERD. Among them are real estate of the Ministry of National Defense such as inactive camps. In the specific real estate of the Ministry of National Defense, 25% of the houses built will meet the housing needs of the Armed Forces while 75% will be available for social homes.
ETAD is expected to allocate 6,500 properties that can enter the market immediately. To this end, according to plans prepared, the former SWOF Industrial Complex, owned by AEOs at 62 Piraeus Avenue in Piraeus, can be exploited, belonging to the ERAD as well as the Weather in Toumpa of Thessaloniki totaling 19,500 sq.m.
Typical examples of camps that will be used to increase the housing stock are those announced by the Prime Minister at the TIF. The Karaiskakis camp in Chaidari, Attica, a 145 -acre surface, which will build 696 apartments (58 buildings of 12 apartments each). The Ziakas Camp in the Municipality of Kordeliou-Evosmos in Thessaloniki, a 128-acre surface, which will create 600 apartments (50 buildings of 12 apartments each) and the Manousogiannakis camp in Patras, a 150-acre surface, which will become 720 apartments (60 apartments). In these areas, but also in other parts of the country, a total of 2,000 apartments are planned to be erected.
