Do you need a TP1 transfer of ownership document showing the conditions of covenants?
Still not received one from our solicitor fit our new house

What stage are you at in the transaction and is the house a new build?

If a new build (and not leasehold) there would usually be a TP1 and you would be sent it with the property report once investigations are complete. You will sign this and return it to your solicitor but should retain a copy.

If not a new build there might be an old transfer with covenants or these might be included on the title register. You would be sent a copy with the property report once investigations are complete. 

You might get sent a copy earlier if your solicitor has any concerns about the covenants they want to bring to your attention.

We signed and return the TP1 but didn't retain a copy thinking it would come back at completion. We now own the house and have struggled to get much from the solicitor but they uploaded a copy of the register to the land registry and we have a copy. Just wonder whether we should persue the tp1 because of the covenants

You're entitled to a copy of everything in your solicitor's file, I doubt they failed to keep a copy.

In that case just email them and ask for a copy. I'd be surprised if they didn't have an electronic copy
