Select new-build mortgage rates will rise by as much as 0.1%, while there will be a 0.03% increase to certain buy-to-let (BTL) and green BTL products.
Also within its new business range, Santander will reduce select residential remortgage rates by up to 0.13%, and all large loan rates by 0.1%.
Changes are also being made to its product transfer rates, with the lender cutting select residential rates by 0.16% while increasing others by 0.12%.
Select BTL product transfer rates will go up by 0.03%.
Earlier this week, some brokers suggested that some mortgage rates could begin to rise after a period of successive reductions. This was attributed to an increase in swap rates, which as of 9 October were 4.04% for a two-year swap and 3.78% for a five-year swap, slightly down from respective rates of 4.06% and 3.81% on 7 October.
