Flat selling to relative

My wife and I are just about to put our flat on the market for £125k.

We owe £64500 on the mortgage.

My mother is planning to sell her house in 2 years, downsize and put the excess into a buy to let flat (the profit would go into a pension pot for me).

She should get £300k for her house.

Would it be feasible for her to get a 2 year interest-only mortgage with no deposit (she is 64) , buy my flat, and then utilise the profit from renting out (say £500 a month)

I'll put it to our mortgage advisor, but before I do I just want to to check I'm not talking ars* over elbow (mother's words).
