Like a receiver of certain property (5)
I believe the answer is:
asset
'certain property' is the definition.
'asset' can be an answer for 'property' (asset can mean an item of property). I am not sure about the 'certain' bit.
'like a receiver' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'a receiver' becomes 'set' (I've seen this in another clue).
'as'+'set'='ASSET'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asset that I've seen before include "Valuable possession, worth having" , "Holding" , "Advantage, strength" , "Seats (anag.)" , "Anything of value" .)
