What do you intend to do if someone offers to buy your English house

I refuse it, simple as that. You obviously have no concept of an
Englishman's word is his bond. Avarice is a deadly sin, you know.

Nobody actually said that you you had *accepted* the first offer.
Had you done so, then I agree, it is important to be of your word.
If you hadn't, and wanted to wait for other offers, it would be
completely reasonable to do so, even if they are above your asking
price.

But if I had accepted the first offer, then you agree with me that it
is wrong to then accept a higher offer, yes?

If you feel otherwise then I would stay out of the property market, or
include a note in the details that you will take the first close
offer. People will be amazed by your naivete and it might help you
make a sale.

People are already aware that I am willing to take a close offer,
because that's what I tell 'em!
