One of the most innovative and ambitious digital initiatives implemented in Greece, with the aim of improving the management and transparency in real estate, is the Single Registry of Real Estate (EMA). Creating a comprehensive and interoperable electronic system, EMA. It brings together and depicts all data (legal, urban, administrative, forest, tax, energy, etc.) relating to the country’s real estate in a single digital environment.
Its basic philosophy is the integration of information – which to date have been scattered in multiple registries and public databases – and to provide easy and safe access to both citizens and professionals.
EMA It is implemented through the single digital gate gov.gr and functions as a interoperability platform, drawing data from all relevant bases and public registries. This means that users, whether they are citizens or professionals such as lawyers, notaries and engineers, will have access to reliable and up -to -date information, without having to give data back or going through time -consuming processes. Citizens can see their real estate data, if they have rights, and professionals will be able to derive information on facilitating their duties.
In essence, EMA It offers a holistic picture of real estate, including legal, urban, tax, energy and environmental data. This has multiple benefits: it drastically reduces administrative costs, as repeated applications for certificates and information are abolished and all procedures are carried out digitally safely, while enhancing transaction security and efficiency, as they provide access to official, updated data, reducing the likelihood of fraud.
An important advantage of the integrated system is the transparency it creates, always respecting personal data according to the GDPR. Users are in control of the information they see, and the project is designed to contribute to the management and recording of public property, making information available for public policy and strategic planning. In addition, EMA It facilitates the fight against tax evasion and violations, crossing tax data with system data.
And because questions about the functioning of the system may arise, it has already been clarified that citizens will not need to reconcile their real estate data, as the EMA. It will automatically draw the information through interoperability, while the only ID remains the CAEK, without creating a new number.
The project is in the process of evaluating bids and is expected to be fully operational by the end of June 2026. Its technological infrastructure is based on advanced business intelligence tools and automated processes that ensure accuracy and speed of data information.
In addition, a crucial point concerns the connection of the EMA. With Mida, AADE’s digital tool. The Mida (Private Real Estate Register) crosses tax information (E2, E9) with CAEK, confirming the property, use and tax regime of a property. Although Midas focuses on tax management and data intersection, EMA. It acts as a consolidated hub that incorporates and presents all this information, as well as other data from public records, creating a comprehensive and transparent map of the country’s real estate.
EMA It is the foundation stone for the transition to a modern, more transparent and effective real estate ecosystem, both for the public and the citizens. Overall, it promotes digital innovation, legal security and sustainable development, making it a tool for strategic importance for Greece’s future in the field of real estate management.
With the capabilities it offers, the EMA, in combination with the Land Registry and the Mida of AADE, is expected to provide significant benefits both at the level of transparency and efficiency, as well as in the fight against phenomena of illegal actions such as tax evasion and violation, while enhancing public and public and public service.
Completion and activation of the project is expected to substantially contribute to further digitization of the state and the creation of a modern and functional environment for the management of real estate in the country.
