Where is the main stopcock located on the water supply line?
It is essential to know in case of an emergency and to prevent significant damage (e.g. to stop flooding due to a pipe leak or accidental breakage, etc.)
Where is the location of power and gas meters?
Take photos or make videos of the meter readings as evidence in case you may have to prove it to the suppliers the date you moved in. Knowing this is also as vital because you may need to stop both of them in an emergency – and pertinent valves/switches are generally arranged near these meters.
Which companies supply water, power, gas and telephone/broadband services?
Once again, this is vital because you may need to advise companies of the date you moved in and relevant readings. You will also need to know who to get in touch with should an occurrence of issues/crises arises.
Where is the thermostat to control the heating temperature?
