By allowing the agents to show buyers round, I think you will have created an agreement between you.0

certainly they would attempt to pursue you if you sold to either of the viewings that have occured so farNever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0

But what is that agreement? OP should write and tell the agent rather than waiting for the agent to send through a new document. If it comes to a dispute a letter from OP will carry a lot of weight.
That's the problem - both sides could argue that their verbal agreement means different things.
As you say - the OP should get something in writing ASAP.0
