What insurance will I need for flat?

Recently bought a leasehold flat and do not have any form of insurance.

What type of insurance would users here recommend I take out and why? Can anyone recommend the best companies to go for?

Any advice appreciated.

    Contents only. Use a comparison site. I pay about £40 on a two bed first floor flat. Buildings is covered by the service charge and arranged by the managing agents.

    £40 per year. Usually a bit cheaper with cash back and other offers.

    I spoke with my neighbours who are involved in the management of the building where I stay. They inform me their contents insurance is with Aviva and they have their home / car insurance dealt with by a broker.

    Does this sound like the building insurance is not covered in the leasehold?
