hi our house freehold has been sold to different company. In february 2018 we paid ground rent and house insurance to freeholder. in April the freehold was sold to different company which requesting for us to pay them house insurance again under different policy ( they haven’t provide the new policy). Do i need to pay them ? how do i get refund from old freeholder for the house insurance i paid before . isn’t house insurance transferred between freeholders ?

No.
I asssume yur lease (read it!) requires you to pay for insurance once a year. You've paid it. Next year, the new freeholder can ask you to pay again and can use a different insurer.
However if your lease requires you to pay installments quarterly, and your payment in Feb covered Feb, March April, then in May you need to pay again to the new freeholder.
What does your lease say?0
