Run-down property due proper reconstruction (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

doer upper

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

'run-down property' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'due proper reconstruction' is the wordplay.
'reconstruction' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'reconstructions' mean this).
'due'+'proper'='dueproper'
'dueproper' is an anagram of 'DOER-UPPER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
