Mount Isa and North West Mortgage Brokers – Queensland

Posted September 7th, 2010 and last modified December 7th, 2010

Mount Isa, or ‘The Isa’ as it is known by locals, came into existence in a rather arid part of North West Queensland as a result of the discovery of a vast deposit of lead, silver, copper and zinc that eventually made it one of the most productive single mines in the world. It is presently operated by Xstrata Pic who operate Mt Isa Mines, that is adjacent to the city itself, the ‘Enterprise’ underground copper mine, the X41 underground copper mine, the ‘Black Star’ an open cut silver-lead-zinc mine and a metallurgical processing facility there. There is also another silver-lead-zinc mine 20 kilometres to the north of Mount Isa at Hilton known as the ‘George Fisher’ underground mine and an adjacent open cut called the “Handlebar Hill’ open cut that truck back their ore to Mount Isa for processing.

Mount Isa is one of two of the largest copper mine and smelting complexes in Australia. Its lead and copper are smelted on site. Copper anodes and zinc concentrates are transported 900 kilometres to the coast at Townsville where the lead ingots are shipped to a refinery in Britain where the silver is extracted. The stack of the lead smelter that was built in 1978 stands 270 metres high and is visible from a distance of 40 kilometres.

The current population of Mount Isa is 23,000 in the city itself and 31,000 in outlying areas. There is an artificial lake built 19 kilometres north of Mount Isa, Lake Moondarra, on the Leichardt River that provides the town with drinking water and a water sport recreational area as well as a interesting bird watching opportunities.

Ten percent of the children at Mount Isa have been found to have elevated levels of lead in their blood although the owner of the Mount Isa Mine, Zstrata, deny responsibility claiming that the soil in the area has a high lead level and that is is the most probable cause. Not their mining activity.

Safe property investment opportunities in the North West

Anybody wanting to invest in property in the North West area of Queensland that is rich in minerals should consider talking with one of the many mortgage brokers who specialize in getting clients the best home loans possible. Home loans chosen by mortgage brokers take into account the size of the budget you have at your disposal as well as your aspiration for now and into the future. It can be a frustrating and difficult task to take on alone because of the wide selection of mortgage products on the market these days. Mortgage brokers can save you much precious time in finding the most appropriate loan for you because of their inside knowledge of the industry and close association with the lenders on their panel.

If you decide to go directly to a lender yourself you will end up having to complete new applications every time you consult them. This can become a big waste of your time. Not to mention the time it would take browsing and comparing all the different deals with each lender. Mortgage brokers will cut out all this time and effort and it won’t cost you a single cent as they make their living by getting paid commissions from the lender who finally ends up getting your business. Good mortgage brokers can source a wide range of mortgage deals on your behalf. They will choose one they feel best suits your particular circumstances and discuss it with you. All you will have to do is to complete one application not an application for each lender as you would have had to do if you were ‘going it alone’.

Mortgage brokers also know the lenders on their panel, they will know the ones most likely to accept your application before they even go to the trouble of submitting it. In fact they will be unlikely to submit an application if they felt it wouldn’t be successful. If you have had the misfortune of being landed with a less than perfect credit history, a mortgage broker will know which lender would be the most likely to take you on. They will only inquire of a lender who will most likely be sympathetic to your situation. If you have a tarnished credit history it will be a waste of your time to even try to obtain a home loan without the help of a mortgage broker. The more you attempt to get a mortgage the more you will be declined until the fact that you have been declined by a lender will be enough for another lender to follow suit as it is all recorded on your credit history, every time you apply. This will mean you will have to wait for at least five years before making any further applications before your credit history will be cleared.
