    I had a plumber look at it today and  we turned the water supply off to the house and water still came out of the hose tap in the garden 
    When you say this ^^^^  was it just the house stop c0ck  (tap)   turned  off or the mains in the road..  I would be tempted to get your water company involved  and isolate the supply from the mains

    I'm wondering whether this hosepipe was connected to the incoming water supply before your internal stopcock, did your plumber not turn off the street stopcock to check this?

    It can't be plumbed into the house as turning off your internal stopcock would of stopped the flow

    Trying to find the end of a hosepipe that's buried under all that concrete without taking it up is going to be nigh on impossible , so you have two options , rip up the concrete slab and remove the hosepipe or pray you have been told porkies leave the slab and finish the build
