Can fire insurance compensation be directly used to offset mortgage repayments?

No, it cannot be used directly to offset mortgage repayments.  Insurance payout is to compensate losses caused by the fire and generally does not cover your obligations to pay your mortgage.   

 

However, if a mortgagee bank receives insurance payout under a property or fire insurance policy, this may reduce the outstanding amount under your loan.
