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

'reasonable-sounding' is the wordplay.
'reasonable' becomes 'fair' (synonyms).
'sounding' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fair' is a homophone of 'FARE'.
