Because of this, POMIDA, in a letter to the political leadership, requested the following three changes to the current regulation for building identity:
*To allow the parallel validity of the engineer’s certificate throughout the pandemic, so as not to paralyze the Real Estate Market and negatively affect real estate transactions,
*To allow the regulation of arbitrary category 5 through exclusively the submission of a building identity, within the period of validity of the law, with the legal surcharges, and
*To be removed the study of static adequacy from the conditions for the issuance of a “Divided Ownership” identity card, i.e. individual apartments etc.
The full text of the letter is as follows:
To the Minister of Internal Affairs Mr. Kostas Skrekas
The Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Mr. Nikos Tagaras
COM: To the General Secretary H.S. & of Urban Environment Mr. Efthimios Bakoyannis
Here Athens, 1.3.2021
REQUEST: Parallel validity of certificate of engineer with Building ID until end of pandemic, removal of static adequacy for divided properties & regulation for arbitrary KAT5.
Honorable Ministers, Mr. General
1. The extension of the measures against the pandemic, which has as a consequence the hardship or even complete impossibility of access for citizens and technicians to all relevant public services (city planning, mortgage offices, land registry offices, municipalities, etc.), combined with the exclusive validity of the building identity from 1.4.2021, turns real estate transfers into a nightmare and places imperative matter of reviewing the entry into force of this measure.
With public services closed in the midst of a pandemic and quarantine of unknown duration, the gathering of so many permits, plans, studies, supporting documents and certificates and conducting autopsies for issuing PEA and building ID is beyond human capabilities. Nor is it easy under these conditions to acquire experience in the creation and submission of a Building Identity from a significant number of engineers in the country so that from April 1st it will be possible to prepare and submit a building identity for every legal act.
2. Given the above, the entire process of arranging all the arbitrary ones is canceled at the same time, since it now presupposes as its final stage the submission of a building identity! For this reason, you should also consider and accept the possibility of regulating Class 5 trespassers through the submission of a building ID only, within the period of validity of the trespasser law, with the prescribed gradual increases of the Uniform Special Fine.
3.Finally, from an obvious detour, in the law on the identity of “independent divided property”, there is also the oxymoron of requesting a static adequacy study, which is only possible for the entire building, i.e. for for the owner of a two-bedroom apartment to transfer his apartment, he is asked to bear the cost of a static adequacy study of the entire apartment building, which is not only costly, but also practically unfeasible! For these reasons we request:
*To allow the parallel validity of the engineer’s certificate throughout the pandemic, so that the Real Estate Market is not paralyzed and the transactions of the properties,
*To allow the regulation of arbitrary category 5 through the submission of a building identity, within the deadline of the law, with the legal surcharges, and

*Remove the static adequacy study from the conditions for issuing a “Divided Ownership” identity card, i.e. individual apartments etc.
At your disposal for any clarification and cooperation!
With special regards
Lawyer A.P. – President of UIPI
