Hi All, I've previously written about the monthly releases of Land Registry Price Paid data as these datasets are a great source of address details and are available under OGL. Matt Williams has already done a good job pulling this data into his Postcode Finder [1]. This is a nice tool that attempts to match LR and OSM data.
Land Registry have now committed to releasing the historic Price Paid data all the way back to 1995 [2]. I would imagine lots of houses have been sold in this time: --> Lots of house sales = Lots of addresses :-) Should you wish to develop a tool to make use of this in helping OSM contributors, then I would imagine many people would be very grateful. Feel free to post ideas here. Matt is also a good person to get in touch with :-) To quote Owen: "Have a biscuit, Land Registry."
