British Titles
It is impossible to purchase a British peerage title as such a transaction would be in breach of the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act, 1925. Only titles from the semi-extinct feudal system may legally be sold.
The British embassy in the United States in regard to sales of titles of peerage informs that "the sale of British titles is prohibited".
