The report, which is based on the survey results of over 2000 mortgage holders, also said the proportion of 25-34 year olds who used a broker to apply for their home loan was higher than average.
Just over 39 per cent said they would use a broker when applying for a home loan, compared to the survey average of 31 per cent.
