Been gone 2 months, how do I prevent pipe issues?

Hi, I have not been home for 2 months and I need advice on what to do before I can turn on any water tap please. I'm worried about flooding or pipes bursting.

Should be fine as we've not really had any freezing temperatures. For heating just put on lowest setting for about 30 mins and then increase slowly.

Normally you won't get any leaks just from not using the taps for a couple of months. So you shouldn't worry about it too much.
