Hi guys/ gals,
Have anyone here started to pay their housing loan payment instead of paying 1st interest while waiting for the house is completed? Currently i'm paying interest only but i wish to start paying my house loan so that i can finish it earlier.
Can we request to the bank to allow to us to pay the house loan (principal + interest) ? If yes, do they charge a fee for it?
Thanks

Not sure about other banks can consider such request or not.
