Buying a 2nd home for family

Hi I have my own house with around £80k mortgage on it.
I have family who rent out paying about £500 a month.
What we are considering is me buying a 2nd home - and then they would live there and pay off the mortgage. So effectively I'd be renting it to them.
What questions do I need to answer to work out if this could viably work out for us?

Thanks for that, I did see that thread. What I wasn't sure about is why the other user mentions a £30k deposit - how is that worked out?
So main question I have is:
How to work out how much I could get as a 2nd mortgage? If I get a joint mortgage with my parents, how to work out what we could collectively borrow (Taking into account I already have 1 mortgage)0 -
Now it is getting complex.
