A big part of the conveyancing process is the conveyancing searches. This section tells you all about them. What they are, how and when to order them and how to interpret the results. Each search has its own guide and you'll see they are separated into Standard (should be done in every case), Regional (area specific) and Optional (not essential but often useful tools for the would be purchaser). All buyers should beware that when you buy a property, the law assumes that you have seen the information that would have been revealed by searches whether or not you have actually carried them out, so you buy the property subject to the results.
Using a conveyancer to handle your conveyancing will greatly reduce the risk to you and sometimes, particularly if you are taking out a new mortgage, you will have no choice but to instruct a conveyancer. The good news is it doesn't have to break the bank. Get a free, instant quote here. We can also help with quick easy quotes for other moving related services.

I bought a commercial property in Wales that included a small parcel of land shown edged on the title deeds
Seeing historical maps and talking to neighbours, they say this bit of land belongs to another neighbour who owns the pathway either side of it and it was falsely claimed by a previous owner of my property. It is a pathway that has access rights to the general public but not a right of way.
I have no interest in this small pathway and I want to transfer the title back to the rightful owner.
Is this a relatively simple process?
You can transfer that section to the neighbour by Form TP1. Submit it to HM Land Registry with an AP1, a Land Registry compliant plan (usually 1:1250 scale) showing the section to be transferred edged red, and Form ID1 if unrepresented. A conveyancer can do all this for you, usually for about £300-£400.
