Mortgage to buy home for parent?

Hello, I'm new here so be gentle with me.

I live in the north east of England, currently at home with mother, and we are both contributing towards the rent. She works, although doesn't earn enough for a mortgage, and I'm currently on a temp contract so can't get one either.

However I have been offered a job in Glasgow, and I am hoping to move up there. The plan is to rent a flat as cheaply as I can in Glasgow, and hope that I can get a mortgage to buy a home for my mother to live with back in England. I know this will be difficult, but is it possible to get a mortgage in such a situation. We have a good deposit.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
