Buying a house for my mum!

Evening team!
In a nutshell... mum lives in a house valued at 140 000, she's seen a flat she wants valued at 90 000. She owes about 28 on her house.
She's just put her house on the market to buy this flat but I've a feeling it will get snapped up pretty quickly.
I live in a rented house, earn about 30k and have about ten grand in the bank.
My credit score, I imagine, is good. I have no loans or credit card debt.
I had a mortgage once but sold my house about 10 years ago.
How would it work if I were to buy this flat for mum, to secure it, and transfer it into her name when she sold her house?
I would not want to be out of pocket at the end of it and she would want to live mortgage/rent free.
This flat is on the same street as her sister and it would make her immeasurably happy to live there....
Help me out, team!

Probably easier and not much difference in cost to knock £5k off mums house for a quick sale.
Make sure the sellers of the flat know your mum wont need a mortgage.0
