Rental Options

Market Rent

Looking for a home without the long wait?
We offer rental properties at market rates, just like private landlords, but with shorter waiting lists. In some cases, homes are available immediately.

Interested? Call us on 0121 748 8100 or email contactus@pioneergroup.org.uk to register.

Shared Living

Need affordable shared accommodation?

Our high-quality shared homes in Stockland Green are ideal for individuals looking for a cost-effective living option. All bills are included in the rent, making budgeting simple.

Rent to Buy

Want to get on the property ladder but struggling to save a deposit?
Our Rent to Buy scheme helps you take the first step. Rent a brand-new home at 20% below market rent for up to five years, giving you time to save and plan for the future. After the first year, you may have the option to buy a share in your home.

Why choose Rent to Buy?

  • Live in a home you could own one day
  • Pay reduced rent while saving for a deposit
  • Option to move into shared ownership

Who can apply?

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be a first-time buyer (or returning to homeownership)
  • Have a household income under £80,000
  • Be employed and pass a credit check
  • Commit to saving for a deposit
  • Match the household size to the property (no overcrowding)

What you’ll need:

  • Proof of income (e.g. payslips or P60)
  • Proof of savings
  • Proof of identity and address
  • A landlord reference (if applicable)

Once approved, we’ll guide you every step of the way, right up to moving into your new home.
