Moving into a new property - things to ask

Hi Folks
I hope you're all well. I will be moving into a new property in the next few weeks, and was wondering what things I need to clarify/know with the current occupiers before they leave the property.
I have made a list as follows:
1. The mains water stop tap.
2. Operation of the burglar alarm
3. Finding out how the kitchen appliances work.
4. Taking final meter readings
5. Where to forward their post
6. What day the bin men come
7. Al house/window lock keys
Is there anything that I have missed off?
Thanks

You may have already found it, but big checklist here:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/mortgages/moving-house-checklist0 -
- What bulbs do the light fittings take?
If moving into a new area:
- Can you recommend any local tradespeople? (plumber, electrician, handyman)
- What's a good takeaway?
And if you're feeling brave
- What's wrong with the house that you didn't tell me about and my surveyor didn't spot?0 -
Bin collection will be on the council website.
You can usually download appliance manuals from the manufacturer website as PDFs.0
