    Is this house your residence, or a rental property?

    If residence, the answer is no. Sure why would you get tax relief on it, particularly if it's the insurance company's money paying for it?!

    If it's a rental property the answer is still pretty much no, although there may be some adjustments needed for capital allowances etc. You'd need to talk to a competent professional if it's a rental property.
