For all we know, the rest of the bids were £20-30k lower and they couldn't believe someone was willing to set a new record price for the road in a pandemic and knew they were accepting an unrealistic offer, so won't be surprised when rogan comes back saying sorry Gov, throw us a bone
It's also possible that others bid more but their position was weaker than Rogan's and there was less chance of them going through with it.
I would have thought the Stamp Duty Holiday would drive a need to select buyers who stand the best chance of going through with the purchase at the agreed price or thereabouts in the shortest possible timescale.
