I don't think I'd be able to say my conscience was as 'clear as possible', if I were in your shoes. You should at least do the honourable thing and tell her you've accepted a higher offer to allow her to longer look at what else is out there - if your cash buyer falls through she may still go for your flat.

As for 'all she will suffer is knowing she lost the flat' - that's cause for having a conscience in my book and doing the right thing. You hope for happy days but are squishing hers...

did you accept on offer at the asking price? if you took a reduction i see no problem in saying that somone has offered the asking price, nothing morally wrong with that as house arent bought in england until exhange of contracts.

Thanks to everybody for your replies.

I have decided to edit my posts as if by chance my buyer was to pop in, I don't think she'd have too much difficulty identifying herself.

Again, thank you for your help on this!!
