Santander ups rates; Dudley BS revises range – round-up
Santander will be increasing its new business and product transfer mortgage rates from 25 July.

This applies to select residential and buy-to-let deals. 

For new business, residential fixed rates will rise by between 0.13 per cent and 0.36 per cent, while buy-to-let fixed rates will increase by between 0.05 per cent and 0.29 per cent. 

The buy-to-let fixed rate product fee will also rise from £1,499 to £1,749. 

The lender will withdraw larger loan exclusive deals for buy-to-let borrowers and add two and five-year fixed rate options at 60 per cent loan to value (LTV) for buy-to-let borrowers who are remortgaging or purchasing. 

Across its product transfer range, Santander is increasing residential fixed rates by between 0.16 per cent and 0.65 per cent, while buy-to-let rates will rise by between 0.3 per cent and 0.67 per cent. 

The bank will launch a residential one-year fix to its product transfer range priced at 6.32 per cent and a £499 fee. This will be available up to 90 per cent LTV, as part of a simplification of its one-year fixed product transfer offering.  

The alternative with no fee will increase by 0.16 per cent in rate to 6.5 per cent. This is also available up to 90 per cent LTV and all other options in this range will be withdrawn. 

Santander said because the change was within 14 days of 3 August, when the next base rate decision is announced, it was applying an exception to its post-acceptance cancellation policy. 

Earlier this month, the lender amended its product transfer policy so new rates could be viewed and selected when a product is pending as long as there are more than 14 days before it comes into effect. 

This exemption means it will allow any pre-booked deals which are due to start on 3 August to be cancelled until 10pm on 26 July. Cancellation requests made after this date will be rejected.
