Capitalise
When fees and/or interest are capitalised it means that they are added to the principal balance of the loan rather than needing to be paid upfront. This means that you will incur interest on the amount of those fees and/or interest. Your loan repayments will be calculated on the increased loan amount. You may also find our article on 'Capitalised Loan Fees' under 'Mortgage Basics' helpful.
