Martin, I thought it that way.

Martin: It would appear that way, but I cannot be 100% sure. What say you, Marina G?

Martin Boyd (asker) Feb 27, 2008:

Hmmm... I have another unrelated document where "aforo" is used without explanation in a table of mortgage interest rates (Aforo 71%-80%; Aforo 81%-90%). Can I assume that if the "aforo" is expressed as a percentage it would be the Loan-Value Ratio, and if expressed as a price in pesos it is the appraised value?

Nelida Kreer Feb 27, 2008:

Marina G. is right in that "appraised value" is "valor del inmueble que equivale al préstamo", and "loan-value ratio" corresponds to: "porcentaje de financiamiento sobre....etc.". This, as defined. However, normally, "aforo" would mean "appraised value".
