Mandatory insurance for buildings

The Greek Justice Ministry is considering making property insurance mandatory for buildings, following the recent collapse of an apartment building in Petralona. The proposed legislation aims to cover common areas like entrances, stairwells, and elevators against risks such as fire, earthquakes, and floods. It also allows for optional coverage of subsidence and landslides. The bill seeks to streamline co-ownership issues by reducing voting thresholds for maintenance and expense decisions. Additional proposals include allowing floor divisions in apartment blocks, enabling land development under co-ownership, and resolving ownership disputes for thousands of properties in a gray legal status.
