Scandalous allegations on apartment seen at low tide (7)

I believe the answer is:

mudflat

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

'at low tide' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'scandalous allegations on apartment' is the wordplay.
'scandalous allegations' becomes 'mud' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'apartment' becomes 'flat' (synonyms).
'mud'+'flat'='MUDFLAT'

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mudflat that I've seen before include "area of seaside land" , "estuary area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
