Snakes and Ladders · the board behind the campaign

The Carringtons ladder vs the snake.

Two ways to sell the same home.

Same house, same buyers, same market. The dice are the market. The route decides what happens on each square: on the traditional route every step is left until after the offer and becomes a snake; with Carringtons the same step is done before launch and becomes a ladder. Roll and see which route moves first.

Each roll is a week on the market Each snake costs £5,000 and three weeks Square 100 is moved in It is a game: the dice are random, the steps are real

Carringtons rolls first. The traditional route rolls next.

How it works

Ten steps, ten rows

Each row of the board is one step of a sale, from the first figure to completion. Land on a ladder with Carringtons and you climb it: that step was done before launch. Land on a snake on the traditional route and you slide: that step was left until after the offer.

Every figure quoted on this page is from Carringtons' own records on 24 October 2026, or sourced at the foot.

In real life, on every home Carringtons has launched this way since December 2024: 27 days from launch to offer agreed (Kingston average 98), 27 of 28 sales above the launch price, 7% above launch across completed sales, and 1 agreed sale in 30 fell through (UK: nearly 1 in 4). Of the 93 local owners who met us and chose another agent, the six that have completed sold 10% below their launch price between them.
