Additional deductions have been made by Santander on some buy-to-let range deals, decreasing by up to 0.16 percentage points.
New rates include a five-year fixed remortgage deal pitched at a rate of 4.30% with a £999 fee for borrowers with a 25% deposit, reflecting a reduction of 0.23 percentage points, the bank has said.
As reported by BirminghamLive, Graham Sellar, Santander's Head of Intermediary Channels, said: "We're pleased to deliver this bumper range of rate cuts across more than 70 products, alongside adding cashback for those looking at higher LTVs."
Finance expert Rachel Springall, from Moneyfactscompare.co.uk, said: "It's good to see a prominent lender making the decision to cut fixed mortgages and the two-year fixed deals from Santander are particularly competitive.

"Those borrowers who need a mortgage at a higher loan-to-value may be pleased to see a cashback incentive launched, however any deal should be weighed up by its overall cost.
"Santander's two-year fixed mortgage at 85% loan-to-value has an impressive cost-saving package of a free valuation and £250 cashback. The deal does charge a fee of £999, but the fixed rate is a competitive 4.69%."
The statement from Ms Springall, ahead of Christmas, added: "It will be good to see if more prominent lenders decide to cut their fixed-rate mortgages in the weeks ahead in response."
