PLEASE HELP!!

Just bought this house…. feel like I made a big mistake and im completely heart broken because a bug buying factor was the garden (coming from a flat)

I know my garden is the lowest out of all surrounding gardens and that there is a lot of clay in the area.

I've dug a 2 foot hole in the garden and the water collected there and after 2 days its at the same level, very bad drainage.

My mate told me to dog further and get to the soil but im finding it hard with a shovel. I thought the water would soften the area but nope.

Can anyone give me any recommendations.

Thanks

    Look at the docs you had when it was sold. Its misrepresentation if they tick the no flooding during conveyancing. Although you should have been told about flooding risks

    This is a job for a professional. That’s a lot of standing water.

    That’s actually shocking. Your foundations must be saturated and at real risk there
