Incorrect sale price on Land Registry

We bought our first house for £225K and moved in end of July 2007. An identical terrace a few doors down just went up for sale. Had a nose on FindAProperty.com (mainly for decor etc) and it's priced at £260K. I thought it's somewhat optimistic and clicked the option that gives sold prices for your search area to see if they know something I don't. It showed our house as being bought for £250K. I checked the land registry site and that confirmed the error.
My question is does this really matter? Should I try and raise it with LR or just leave it? We intend to stay where we are for many years so aren't really that bothered about the perceived value. Just wondered if it might cause any problems later on.
Thanks

It should be corrected, who knows if water rates or council tax will be based on price paid at any time in the future.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
