“A more than fair offer to rent properly they are not actively using”.
So if I had Elvis Presley’s Ferrari in my garage, and I didn’t take it out and drive it, since I’m not actively using it, offering me $50 a day to rent it would be a more than fair offer. Right?
It is very much the governmental attitude, especially when assessing compulsory purchase orders. At least, inn the UK, planned or potential use impinges on the offer.
But it’d be great to turn that back on them! Y’know, our government has nukes they aren’t using, and I’ve this tree stump…
But it doesn’t sound like it’s meant as that type of situation here. It’s more like he made an offer at above market value, and the fact that’s it’s not currently in use by the family should make it a more appealing deal.
And that does make sense for property. If someone offered my family over market price for our home, we’d likely say no because… we live here. If they offered WAY over asking price, though, we might go for it. (It would also be very suspicious, but this really only comes up as part of a discussion of hypotheticals.)
“Piqued”, when describing a person, means “annoyed, mildly angered, slightly offended”. (For example, Agent Brown is piqued by Then’s implication that he offered the Smiths money purely as an act of manipulation.) I assume Then mixed it up with the term “interest piqued”, meaning “intrigued”.
Language learning curves! They’ll sneak up on you.
Interesting way of looking at something.

Theo thought is was a very good price.

Then may want to reconsider his wording on that last one.
“Keeping them safe is more important than any amount of money.”
Fixed it for Then.
then your less than altruistic ulterior motives are showing again.
