When loans are funded by the issuance of SDOs and SDROs, valuations are based on the property's open market value. When loans are funded by ROs, valuations are based on the mortgageable value. In Denmark, the mortgageable value will correspond to the open market value in the vast majority of cases, cf sections 10-15 of the Mortgage Act.
