For the last eight years, Sarah Beeny has been guiding budding property developers through the renovation game. Many failed to listen to her advice but often saw their bad decisions saved by a rising property market. But now with the housing market downturn, and lending still in crisis, there’s never been a harder time to develop. In tonight’s first episode of Property Snakes and Ladders , Sarah helps two property novices who have big problems with their plans. Will it be enough to save them from the biggest and quickest housing crash in living memory?
