About this season
Property Ladder is the original British version of the television series Property Ladder. Hosted by Sarah Beeny, it follows the journey of amateur property developers as they set out to make a life changing profit from renovating challenging houses. The show underwent a change in format during 2004 and now features two developments per episode rather than one. In early 2009, Channel 4 announced that a new series was to be shown, starting on 9 June, it is the first to be filmed in a struggling market and has been re-titled Property Snakes and Ladders.

2. Christchurch and Wanborough
Aired 16 April 2008
We've crunched up all our credit, the market's got serious jitters and you'd think novice property developers would be pulling back. Not a bit of it! In this week's Property Ladder, The Beeny has her hands full with two sets of first-timers taking on not one, but two properties each.
3. Haslingfield and Market Drayton
Aired 23 April 2008
This week Sarah follows Robert, who's bought a listed cottage in Haslingfield, and Diane, who's converting part of a stately home in Market Drayton. But what qualities do you need to manage a good redevelopment - and have these two amateur developers got what it takes?
4. Lincolnshire Revisited
Aired 30 April 2008
Sarah Beeny revisits Philip Martinson and Stephen Hodgkinson from the very first series in 2001.

Now it turns out these two have serious talent, but it's not just in developing.

Aired 7 May 2008
