Property Ladder is the name of a television show that airs in the United Kingdom, United States, New Zealand and Australia where first-time property or real-estate developers purchase houses (usually in need of repair), renovate them, and attempt to sell them (or flip) for a profit. Their efforts (and frustrations) are the featured bit of the show. An expert property developer steps in to provide advice.
