Could just be my current frame of mind (house moving), but just discovered House Price Crash which doesn't make me feel great. And NetHousePrices.com and MyHousePrice.com.
Both of the last two do the same: take the basic land registry information and put the database online. MyHousePrice charges you £2 a go, and NetHousePrices has 500 free searches if you sign up in beta now (they got a bit overwhelmed, so it may not be open yet), and then charges (I think) £4,95 for 48 hours. Perfect if you're buying and want to check out recent prices.
Of course there's another thing: two friends I told who I knew would have an addictive desire to check out the price of the house of everyone they know were immediately frustrated by the no-new-registrations thing. "Quick, quick, tell me how much 12 Any Street went for. God, it's like drugs."
What I've discovered is that the house I'm thinking of buying is overpriced, and that my nieghbours sold the almost identical flat to mine in the summer for 15% more than I'm even asking.
