Santander has announced a series of rate reductions across its residential, new build and buy-to-let (BTL) ranges, with the largest cuts focused on higher loan-to-value (LTV) products.

Within the residential home mover range, the biggest reduction was 0.2%.

The 90% LTV two-year fixed rate with a £1,499 fee and £250 cashback was reduced by 0.2% to 4.84%, while the equivalent £999 fee product fell to 4.89%. The 95% LTV two-year fixed rate with no fee was also reduced by 0.2% to 5.49%.

For first-time buyers, the 90% LTV two-year fixed rates saw the biggest reductions, with the £999 fee option to 4.89% and the fee-free option reduced to 5.14% – both reduced by 0.25%.

Meanwhile, 85% LTV two-year fixed products were reduced by 0.24%.

The residential remortgage range saw more modest reductions, with the largest cut being 0.11%. This was applied to five-year fixed products, including the 60% LTV five-year fixed rate with a £1,499 fee, which was reduced to 4.71%. Two-year fixed remortgage products were reduced by up to 0.1%.
