But of course the land registry should be available freely on demand

That looks an interesting site (seems broken at the moment, but I
presume that's merely an artifact of it still being in beta). Do you
know, and if so are you able to share, how they managed to obtain the
data from Companies House?
You can buy the data from Companies House, though it's expensive if you
want all the accounts, or you can subscribe to their XML Gateway (about
£5/month, but only gives programmatic access to the basic company
details, no documents).
You can also get the basic details from data.companieshouse.gov.uk if
you know the company number, e.g.
http://data.companieshouse.gov.uk/doc/company/02050399
The only problem is that you need to know the company number, and you
can't get a list of name->number mappings for free as far as I'm aware.
