What risks should I take into account?

In the event of death or disability, your mortgage may become unaffordable. In a worst-case scenario, you could even end up losing your home.

The risk is especially high if

the property was partly financed with an advance withdrawal from your retirement fund.
the loan-to-value ratio of the property exceeds the total of your first mortgage (67% of the property value).
there's only one main breadwinner.
