AIBU to reduce our accepted house offer after selling ours cheaply?

We offered asking price on a house (825k) a couple of weeks ago (the house had only just been put on the market), and the offer was accepted but the vendors refused to take the house off of the market (completely understandable) and have had multiple viewings but no offers since.

We’ve now accepted an offer on our house. Due to the market, we’ve accepted quite a low offer (650k when we were initially valued at 700-715k from multiple agents) as the market seems to have sunk since the Iran war. We wanted to accept an offer Asap so that we can formalise the offer on the property mentioned.

As we’ve accepted a fairly low offer, would it be seen as cheeky to amend our initial offer on the house we wish to buy? We were thinking of going back at £815k.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a lack of personal responsibility. Your words. It’s unfair, your buyers took advantage, blah blah

it was all your decision, because you wanted to sell and get the next house, all your choice. No one forced you.
