Can an estate agent refuse an offer that is "too low"?

nf2k · 2022-04-26 12:17:34

Asking price for a house is "X'. I make an offer of "X - Y". Estate agent says I must make an offer of "X". Is this allowed? Thanks for any insight!

I went in at 10% below asking (back in late 2019), and got it at that price+5k after a little hardball. Not common I know, but it was a probate motivated seller, and things were less insane a couple years ago. Just an anecdote to show that it does happen
