Santander has announced it is reducing interest rates again across its line of mortgage products.
The high street lender confirmed earlier today it has slashed mortgage and additional loan rates by between 0.17 per cent and 0.82 per cent.
This comes after similar recent announcements from other banks and building societies, such as HSBC.
Interest rates have been on the rise over the past year-and-a-half thanks to the Bank of England’s decision over the UK’s base rate.
Banks, including Santander, have been slashing mortgage rates once again amid an increasingly competitive market
