Halifax: Housing market faces "significant headwinds"

According to this article http://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/mortgage-solutions/news/2085996/halifax-housing-market-significant-headwinds 

It looks like some challenging times for the U.K. house sale in the coming months.

Tips on selling your home.  

•  1) Be realistic about the price.  If you have a home report of £100,000.00 and your house has not sold in six months lower the price.
•                                          2) Keep your house and gardens clean and tidy
•                                          3) Accept all viewing no matter how inconvenient
•                                          4) Consider all offers.  Even a low offer means you are chatting about price and with conversation perhaps a compromise and a sold house.
