The lender will also launch an equivalent deal for product transfer.
All other two-year tracker mortgages for new business and product transfer BTL borrowers will be withdrawn.
Additionally, Santander has increased the maximum loan size on select residential fixed rates from £570,000 to £1m at 90% LTV.
This is the second time this month Santander has increased mortgage rates.
