Asset for forward, having extra yard (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

property

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

'asset' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for forward having extra yard' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this before).
'forward' becomes 'pert' (I've seen this before).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'extra yard' becomes 'y' (I am not sure about the 'extra' bit.**).
'pro'+'pert'+'y'='PROPERTY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for property that I've seen before include "Belongings" , "Possessions, collectively" , "Real estate" , "Possessions; characteristic" , "Buildings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
