Dutch term or phrase: (opgebouwde waarde) aftrekken
Mijn vraag valt eigenlijk meer onder de categorie "leesbegrip"--ik had hem ook al in de categorie Nederlands-only gepost, maar ik kom er nog steeds niet uit. De kwestie is als volgt:

Het gaat om een document waarin uiteen wordt gezet hoe de maximale hoogte van een (hypotheek)lening wordt berekend. (Klant noemt deze doorgaans "lening", niet "hypotheek") En dan staat er: "Als de persoon in kwestie al een lening heeft waaraan een spaarrekening gekoppeld is, wordt de opgebouwde waarde afgetrokken van de lening bij de berekening van de hoogte van de lening."

Als men zegt "afgetrokken van de lening", over welke lening heeft men het dan? De oude of de nieuwe lening? Ik heb het gevoel dat ik ergens "de mist in denk" en me misschien ook blindstaar op de zin, maar ik kom maar niet verder ermee. . .

the accumulated value is subtracted from the loan amount.
Explanation:
The "accumulated value" of the linked savings account is subtracted from the loan amount.
I think this means that the official amount of the loan is reduced by the amount of principal and interest accrued in the savings account.
The reason why this is being done is that the savings account may contain items such as Certificates of Deposit or other time deposits where if the client wants to apply the amount to the purchase price of the real estate he/she will lose a penalty for cashing in the deposit.

From Ms. Rault's comments, it seems I misread "opgebouwde waarde" as meaning the accumulated amount of the savings account. Instead, I now think "opgebouwde waarde" means "the net of the balance still owing on the old loan less any balance in the savings account".
Thus:
Revised answer: wordt de opgebouwde waarde afgetrokken van de lening = the net amount is subtracted from the [new] loan amount.
(Where "the net amount" is the author's concept of a net amount on the old loan.)
