Answer:
Yes, you can legally buy them.

No- you can't buy titles you need to be registered as a peer.

You may style yourself as Lord of your Manor- but this isn't the same as a peerage.
Generally speaking you have to be a "land-owner" to be a lord (or Laird in Scotland) of the manor. There are loads of websites which sell you a ridiculously small plot of land (typically 12" x 12" - one square foot) which then entitles you to call yourself the Lord/Laird of whereever (along with the other 10000 people who have a plot of land in the same field!!). This kind of thing is legal, but the title is purely ceremonial and means diddly-squat. Frankly, I wouldn't waste your money, but some people get a thrill from being able to style themselves as a "Lord"...
