Accepted offer on my house... but now I've got another viewing?

You're very brave to admit that!

You do owe it to your original buyer to tell them ASAP, in the hope that they won't have paid out any money yet. If your agent has any sense, they'll concoct some story about how this new buyer actually viewed the house ages ago but only became proceedable this week when they sold their flat/inherited money/got divorced/got an end-of-year bonus/won the lottery. At least that way there's a vague possibility your original buyer won't be so angry they tell you to get knotted if this sale falls though.

Well I really am thinking about paying for any money he has lost. I am not the type of person to "screw" someone over, but at the same time I know if he seen the identical house for sale 5k cheaper he wouldn't blink an eyelid in telling me where to go.
As for the story, I am just going to tell him the truth. They offered me 2.5K more than his offer and I said I am sorry unless its the full asking price I wont let it go, and so they then said fine if thats what it takes and the rest is history.
