Your question in the title of this thread was "What all documents to get (from) Accountant?" (I've corrected the spelling/punctuation, etc.)
If you knew your company's "dealings" and understood the financial side of it, you'd not ask that question!
When running your own company you should ensure that you have a copy of every document that is produced every year, not something you suddenly search for 10 years into running it.
You get asked simple questions like "have you asked your accountant?" and you don't reply with "yes I have" or "no I haven't", but by evading the question with unfounded self-confidence. Something you seem to be quite good at.

Who is doing the liquidation for you?
Have you read your previous thread?Originally posted by WTFH View Post
And has your accountant confirmed that, or are you just saying it’s true?

Does your company have any directors loans or any other outstanding amounts owed?
What is the book value of any assets?
Have you leased any vehicles, etc through it?
Based on your post history, I suspect there are a hundred questions that could be asked, and that you would evade answering.
Nothing outstanding

So now that I am giving them notice to stop their accounting service what all documents I need to get from them so that I have all information needed for any future HMRC/Companies House queries..? Is there specific set of docs of last x years I must get from them now..?
Also what should I do to ensure they do not acting on my behalf any more not representing me anymore and not getting access to any of my future dealings or past records with HMRC or Companies house..
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks.

You can close down your limited company by getting it ‘struck off’ the Companies Register. This is also known as ‘dissolving’ your company.
You can only strike off your company if it:- has not traded or sold off any stock in the last 3 months
- has not changed names in the last 3 months
- is not threatened with liquidation
- has no agreements with creditors, for example a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)

I once closed my company in 2007 due to lack of work. When I decided to close, I informed the accountant and in turn he/she did everything for me and for a fee. This fee was in addition to the monthly fee. I don't remember how much I paid then.
Your post sounds like (at least for me), you are not in good terms with your accountant. Irrespective of it, take their help to close it. It's easy and painless.

Have you asked your accountant?
Why don't you NOT sack them and let them help you rather than asking a bunch of people who've got zero respect for you so unlikely to help much.
