And if you look on the back of many travel mags, you will find ads for
perfecly legal Lordships in Britain.

Probably "Lordships of the Manor" which don't actually allow you to call
yourself a Lord (as in "Lord Smith" or whatever).In medieval times Lords of
the Manor had various feudal rights and privileges, but I don't think that's
the case now.

No, peerage titles are actually and legally transferrable in the U.K.
You CAn buy a peerage. Unfortunately this doesn't come with the
privilege/right to sit in the House of Lords anymore.
