fees

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'prices' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'oft wrongly removed from toffees' is the wordplay.
'FEES' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fees that I've seen before include "Lawyers' charges" , "(Membership) charges" , "Service charges" , "Professional payments" , "Charges, payments" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
