Bad rates including certain valuables (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treasures

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

'valuables' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'bad rates including certain' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'including' is an insertion indicator.
'certain' becomes 'sure' (synonyms).
'rates' anagrammed gives 'treas'.
'treas' going around 'sure' is 'TREASURES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for treasures that I've seen before include "lots of valuables" , "Holds dear, prizes" , "Values" .)
