Parking mis-sold

I recently purchased a flat which has underground parking . For the parking space we paid additional fee , however the parking space does not match what our deeds. On the plans we have one pillar to the side of the car and another in front of the car but now we have found out that there is pipe work that sticks out on both pillars by a foot which are not present on the deeds. We are unable to park our car in this space due to the space being too small. As this is an error from the developer who sold the space to us, surely it is their responsibility to change this situation so it matches what we were sold ?

You bought this as a New Build from the Developer?If the Contract and deeds clearly specify this area to be a parking space, and it is clearly impossible to park there, then you need to get the Developer to move the pipework which is trespasing on your space.Unless perhaps you have a super-sized vehicle, anda more 'normal' vehicle would fit.2

Yes we purchased the property off the developer.We have a Ford kuga , so a bigger car but should still be able to fit in a car space easily.0

Parking spaces are meant to be big enough to park a car in. There's no set standards but there are guidelines https://blog.greenflag.com/2018/small-parking-bays/I would be complaining and demanding another space or removal of the intrusive pipeworks.

We have done this and they are willing to let us change spaces and amend deeds accordingly however we have to pay legal costs which seem crazy .0

What is the width between the pipework?0

It’s 1.90m in width0 -
1.9m is indeed narrow. The standard width for a parking space is 2.4m.
But I presume that photo isn't your space? The Santa Fe in your photos is within 2mm width (on published dimensions) of your Kuga, about 1.88m without mirrors...2 -
I assume that you weren't given the opportunity to view the space before you paid for it
And you say you have a Kuga - posting a picture with a SantaFe which is slightly wider isn't as usefull0 -
