Are they not trying to prove that McKay artificially inflated his value by giving the impression that there was more demand than there was? I'd imagine to try and reduce the fee owed rather than get out of it all together.
Maybe, but even if they found that he did so, they still made an offer which was accepted so still owe all of the money to Nantes, assuming he was registered in time. If they want to believe stories put about by agents that's up to them surely! Hell, most of us have bought houses and most have probably had estate agents bullshitting us about how if we don't put a higher bid in some, often none existent, other buyer will get it. We can't go and get money back off the house if we later prove there wasn't other interest, it's still on us for making the bid
