The valuation should be performed in an independent way and by appraisers that meet specific qualification requirements. Qualifying requirements and minimum appraisal standards shall comply with the following conditions: — there is an individual assessment of the property and the property is valued in a prudently conservative manner (e.g. excluding expectations of future price appreciations and taking into account any potential for the current property price to be above a level that is sustainable over the life of the loan, for example due to a property price bubble); — where a market value can be determined, the valuation is not higher than market value; — the valuation is supported by adequate appraisal documentation. Institutions shall document their calculations and provide this documentation to their competent authority upon request. 180 Balance sheet recognition   The instructions provided for column 180 of C 102 shall apply. ’ ( 1 )   Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 of 16 April 2014 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to supervisory reporting of institutions according to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( OJ L 191, 28.6.2014, p. 1 ).
