Leasehold and insurance

[Pippa]

I am buying a leasehold property which I will then rent out. I have been told the buildings insurance will be covered by the freeholder and that because it will only be part-furnished, I don't need any contents insurance (the minimum is something like £20,000). Will I still need landlord insurance? Are there any other insurances I should ask about?

The other property I am buying is freehold. I have assumed I need all insurances on this one?
