Hi themas, I'm a commercial property solicitor but have also done a fair amount of residential work.
No listed building status isn't on the title.
The main proof a building is listed is an entry on the planning history part of the local authority search. Example of a Con29 form here...

The main search form is the same but style of reply differs from local authority to local authority, some are even still handwritten!
As for the SPIF form an example here...(Section 10).

As or the additionals mentioned, when I get the initial info such as sales particulars in or any other info which could suggest a building is listed I would tend to raise an enquiry early on so that, if listed, I could inform my clients of the possible implications and take their further instructions.
Trouble is much conveyancing nowadays is such a get em in and get em out sausage factory service as it's a good consistent earner for the firm and as files are often run on a day to day basis by unqualified people things are unfortunately not always, in my opinion, spotted and looked into in as much detail as they should be.
