Its figures show 29% of the mortgages currently on the market are available only through brokers with another 31% available direct and through intermediaries. Lenders offering products through both channels include Woolwich and Leeds Building Society while broker-only includes Halifax.
Recent broker-only launches by Abbey and Alliance & Leicester plus Nationwide's continuing commitment to not dual price have given a boost to the broker market, Evaluate Technologies believes.
However its analysis shows nearly 40% of mortgage products currently available are direct-only including market-leading products from the likes of HSBC and Cheltenham & Gloucester.
Julie Speed, national accounts director at Evaluate Technologies, said: "There are encouraging signs for the broker market in the continuing focus of major lenders on intermediaries as we are starting to see signs of more exclusive products through the larger distribution channels.”
