We've answered a few of the more common questions asked about our Titles below.

Q: How much will it cost me?
A: Prices start from £2,000 and thereafter increase depending on the actual Manor name, age and available history. In addition to the purchase price of the title, the standard solicitor transfer fee of £400 is included for transactions handled in the U.K.

The transfer of ownership is a conveyancing process using a "Title Deed Assignment Document". All payments are made directly to the Solicitor and are covered by the Solicitor's liability and professional indemnity insurance. It is not necessary to use an additional solicitor but if you choose to do so please bear in mind that this will be at your expense.

Q: Are our Titles officially recognised?
A: Lordships of the Manor, or the rights to use a styled titled name or legend are legally recognised in Law under the Law of Property Act.

Q: What is the correct form of address?
A: Once you have acquired your English manor title, the correct form of address for the  fictional town of Nobletown is: "Arthur John Smith, Lord of the Manor of Nobletown"

Whilst this is to be used for legal purposes, in the same context that we don't use middle names when introducing ourselves, or on letters or business cards, modern day names and titles are often abbreviated. This practice is known as 'Custom and practice' i.e. "Lord Nobletown" or "Lord of Nobletown". This practice is permitted providing that the use of the 'styled titled name' is not to be used to purport to be a peer of the realm, or to deceive in any way. We do not purport to sell peerages or titles of dignity. This conforms with "right to peaceful enjoyment of possession", as laid down by the substantive law of the European Convention of Human Rights: first protocol - Article 1.

Q: What property is associated with the titles?
A: In technical terms - "Incorporeal hereditaments, and a right, privilege". The term "Manor" includes a bygone lordship, and reputed manor or lordship. Corporeal property is tangible items of property, such as land and buildings, Incorporeal property is intangible, like fishing rights, or right of access on land you do not own, or rights to a styled titled name - 'Lordships of the Manor'.


Q: What rights come with this title?
A: Only the right to use the styled titled name.

Q: Can our Titles be mentioned on Passports/Driving Licences?

In this instance citizens can use their rights of identity under International Law to have an observation added to their passport & Driving Licence that they are "Also Known As ******** Lord of the Manor of *****" or alias. Additional Legal Documentation can be provided to support the title this way.
