Greek utility companies, building administrators and insurers work in Greek, on Greek hours. Yanis deals with them for you, so your Athens home runs smoothly from abroad.
The paperwork, the phone calls, the deadlines and the representation, so you can own a home in Athens without the admin.
Electricity (DEI/PPC), water (EYDAP), gas and telecoms, monitored, paid and reconciled, with every payment confirmed.
Yanis attends polykatoikia meetings for you, votes on your instructions and sends a written summary afterwards.
Building charges checked, payments tracked and unusual increases flagged, so you never have to read Greek statements.
Renewal dates tracked, coverage questions raised with your insurer or broker, and claims supported on site.
Yanis connects you with a trusted Athens accountant, coordinates ENFIA paperwork and handles correspondence that needs someone local.
Bills & admin is a member service. Yanis quotes your scope before anything starts, and pass-through costs like utility bills and insurance premiums are never marked up.
When you live in Melbourne, Toronto, London or Munich, the admin side of an Athens home rarely fails dramatically. It fails quietly: a payment method that doesn't work from abroad, a building vote you never heard about, a renewal notice in a mailbox nobody checks.
Missed payments can mean cut-off supplies and charges that build up.
Levies, shared costs and rules get decided in your absence.
Deadlines pass and policy terms change without anyone reviewing them.
Everything happens in Greek, during Greek business hours.
Greek apartment buildings are run as a polykatoikia: owners meet to decide on maintenance, shared costs, renovations and rules. These meetings decide how much you pay and what work gets done.
Yanis attends on your behalf, so levy increases and shared cost decisions never pass without your knowledge.
Yanis goes through the agenda with you so you can say how to vote on each item.
He attends personally, represents your interests and votes on your instructions.
You get a clear report of every decision, cost and action item.
Home insurance for overseas owners in Greece has renewal dates, notification requirements and vacancy terms that are easy to miss from abroad. Yanis tracks them and raises questions with your insurer or broker, who remain responsible for your policy.
If you need to claim, he coordinates with your insurer, lets the assessor in and supplies the photos and reports from his regular visits. No need to fly back.
You're reminded before cover runs out.
Questions about vacancy terms and overseas owner provisions are raised for your insurer or broker to confirm.
Yanis is on site for the assessor and provides documentation from his visit records.
Tell Yanis about your home and what admin you need. If it's a good match, he'll arrange a brief intro call.
You share the account details for your utilities, insurance and building administrator, plus any authorisations Yanis needs to act for you.
Bills paid, renewals tracked, meetings attended, with regular summaries of everything done.
Anything that needs your input comes to you on WhatsApp with a clear explanation and recommendation.
Having Yanis look after our holiday home in Athens has changed how we experience it.
