Redeveloped area: settle in property (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

real estate

'property' is the definition.
(real estate is a kind of property)

'redeveloped area settle' is the wordplay.
'redeveloped' indicates an anagram.
'area'+'settle'='areasettle'
'areasettle' with letters rearranged gives 'REAL ESTATE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for real estate that I've seen before include "US-style spread?" , "Land in America" , "Property, land (esp. US)" , "properties" , "Landed property" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
