I believe that the idea of the count controlling (or at least registering and tracking) the ownership of property within his county is exactly what the semi-feudal economy would have done. After all, the count is responsible for law and order, and commercial regulation, in his/hre county. In the case of Chorrol, I recall the conversation with the Countess names Seed-Neeus as the owner, but the castle handles the registration of the transaction, and the county secretary draws up all property deeds.
Benirus Manor is the real anomaly in the game. There should have been some nod to county registration of the transfer, even if Velwyn is entitled to sell directly to the player.
