If you are in the USA, visit the assessors office in the town or county (depending on the jurisdiction) where the property is located. Some offices have an online database. To find the local assessors office simply perform an online search using the town, state and "assessor's records". Or, find the city's official website and look for a list of departments. You may be able to obtain the owner's name and their deed reference.
Once you have that information you can visit the land records office to do more research on the property. However, many assessor's online databases provide the details of the property but do not provide the owner's name or the deed reference in many cases. You may find more information if you visit in person and look through the records.
If the assessor's search doesn't work then you can visit the local land records office (or their online database if they have one) where you should be able to search by owner's name or by address. The staff will help you access the records.
If you are dealing with land in England or Wales, go to the Land Registry's home page (see below for this and other links).

How do you get a title to a house?
To get title to a house (real property--a house on land, a condo, or manufactured home with eliminated title), you must receive a deed from the current owner of record of the real property you wish to acquire. When the deed is signed by the current owner, it must be notarized and recorded in the property records of the county where the real property is located. Then, you are the title owner of the house. On personal property (mobile, modular, and manufactured homes), the current owner of the home signs off on the state-issued title to the home. If there is a lender or other legal owner on the title, that owner or lender must sign off also. Then, the new owner must take the signed off title to the state agency that handles vehicle titles. A new title with the new owner's name will be issued.
