Telegraph Cryptic Connections Puzzle For This Week

[Matakari]

Good morning,
I’m stuck on the cryptic connections and would like some answers, parsing and confirmation for the following. Many thanks in advance!

In a Cryptic Connections puzzle, five cryptic crossword clues must be solved; their answers can be made from the list of letters given underneath. Once all the clues have been solved, some letters will be unused; these can be arranged to give a word or phrase that links the answers to the five clues.

1 Building hotel in front of river (5) HOUSE
2 Do fork out to get paintings for American? (5)
3 Gathering, so spies left (6) SOCIAL
4 Season with herb, we hear (4)
5 People renting from number of workers? (7) TENANTS

Pay-(fork out) with art (paintings) replacing 'a' (American)

In case Danny doesn't see your reply -

Party (do) - 'pAy' (fork out) with 'art' (paintings) for 'A(merican)'

[Lie-in King]

Lol - I should've known better :-)
