Wasting time or he just values it at 30k less?
Being generous, I assume people can view your house online, lots of pictures. They may know the estate, know the plot. Throw in a cheeky bid, if it gets accepted they will be across to view within 24hrs.
A woman was on our local news the day after house moves were allowed again. She bought a £425k house up here after never having seen it in person, never even been to the county. She saw it online only

When we sold a relatively new house on purplebricks 5 years or so again we had someone bid without viewing almost immediately we put it on the market. Turned out he'd viewed the same house type elsewhere a few weeks earlier but missed out on it, so bid as soon as he saw it. He did then come round and view a week or so later when he was back in the area and increased his bid slightly

My brother put his house on the market a few weeks ago in Norfolk. Within 4 days he'd been given a full asking price offer from a woman in Manchester who had only looked at the pictures online. He's now gutted that he didn't put it up for sale with a higher asking price.

Declined it, I know it's our house but that's far too low.

All fair points, he actually booked to view after putting the offer in so you may be right.
There's two that went on our estate, both town houses as well but mid terrace with gardens half the size of ours and they went for more than he offered. We're expecting more for being on the end and a bigger garden.

He's booked to take a look now so will find out his thinking tomorrow.
I know that is the immediate reaction but in the current climate I would just be grateful to have found a buyer at his asking price. If he was happy to put it on at that.......

Assuming you are in a queue the idea/thought behind an unreasonably low offer is that you then seek to knock same/similar amount off the house you are making an offer on... Better the knocks are offered early rather than at the point of the move occurring...

Lack of empathy by some people.

Good point, there's only one house we'd like at the moment. If we don't manage to get it we'll be moving in with mom and dad for a bit to make us more attractive buyers if this one sells.
