This is exactly what's happening. We had an offer of £25k over asking, unseen, if we'd cancel the remaining viewings on our place. It's insane out there.
Yeah - seems mental.
We had 30 viewings on our place at the weekend - 10 initial offers apparently, including one 40k over - going to best and final tomorrow....
I would want to know how they are funding that before accepting. If they need a mortgage, they will need to bridge that themselves as the valuation won't come in a 40k over.
Personally I would be wary of huge offers over, as their intention could be to secure and chip the price down later.
