Do I need to supply listed building consents when acting for a seller?

Does the Conveyancing Protocol require our firm to supply listed building consents when acting for the sellers of a property?

While the Conveyancing Protocol 2019 does not explicitly address listed building consents, step 13 requires the inclusion of Form TA6 (Law Society Property Information Form) in the contract bundle together with any supporting documents.

Section 4.7 of Form TA6 requires the seller to confirm whether the property is a listed building and to supply copies of relevant documents.

The explanatory notes to Form TA6 have further information on listed buildings.
