Can I get a mortgage from the UK to buy elsewhere in the EU?

Possibly a silly question.
if the answer is yes, can l get a buy to let mortgage in the UK for a rental property outside it? I guess the rates would be higher than one to cover a rental property within the Uk?
Thank you for any advice you can give

    Only if it's secured on a property in the UK.

    For example, you remortgage your UK main residence to raise money to buy a property in Spain.

    If you want to mortgage a property overseas, you'll need to raise a mortgage from a lender with a presence in that country. It may have a UK arm you can deal with.
