Sorry, this is my fault for being unresponsive. I'm very busy at the moment finishing my PhD thesis so I've found it difficult to find time to keep this up to date. I'm currently running an update to renew the data from the OSM database and then I'll start adding in the last few months of Land Registry data. They seem to be releasing it fairly promptly these days so I should be able to it more regularly. However, the files are still not named in any regular format so updating them has to be done manually. I also see that they've now also released a bunch of semi-historic data from 2009-2011 (before we only have 2012 onwards) so I'll work on incorporating that soon which should greatly increase the coverage of the tool. I am also giving a talk at State of the Map about the tool so I'll be around there to talk to people about extra features etc. that they might want from it.
