It’s all just marketing bullshit. Offers over means nothing, just the preference of the agent.

I reckon when I was selling/buying I had way more idea of actual prices than the estate agent. They seemed amazed when I said I'd downloaded all the sold prices from the land registry.

When we sold our last place, we discovered that “offers in excess of” means “we will entertain offers above £xx” rather than “we have received offers above £xx”. This wasn’t how I’d understood it while browsing around for somewhere to buy

yeah, i get that you can offer whatever you want.
i'm just trying to gauge if places are actually going for over the "offers in excess of" number (ie is it a hot or luke warm market?)
i'm a seller in this situation, so what we can get for this place dictates what our options are for the next place.
having a look at sold prices suggests that the sticker prices are not way off the transaction prices.
