Buyer’s legal claim on property accepted by court (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

client

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

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

'property accepted by court' is the wordplay.
'property' becomes 'lien' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'accepted by' indicates putting letters inside.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'lien' going within 'ct' is 'CLIENT'.

'legal claim on' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for client that I've seen before include "Eg, lawyer's customer" , "Person represented by lawyer" , "person lawyer represents" , "Professional person's customer" , "Professional's customer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
