    I got the feeling this was the buyer's solicitor's wording, not the seller's.

    My guess about this would be that it is cheaper than usual for the area and with a bigger garden than usual of the area because it has the overage clause. A property is only worth what someone will pay for it. If a lot of people don't want to buy a house with an overage clause then that is what is wrong with this property which is why it may appear to be good value.
