Agreed, with @Scott E.. Also, aside from the situation of the owners, depending on the size of the bank right now, especially regional, they're highly unlikely to approve the transfer of a 3% mortgage in the current environment.
Bank is far more likely to make a call on the loan and/or force a transfer to higher interest rate.
Creative idea, potentially worth a shot still, worst that happens is a no and you withdraw the offer. Odds just aren't in your favor on this one.
