I'm sorry but this building is going to look absolutely stupid
surrounded by a four storey flats estate. STUPID! TOTALLY STUPID!.

Actually it looks pretty good, where it is may not be the best place,
but it is central london, which means IMHO, any semi decent place is
50+ miles away.

I think anything was going to look a bit odd surrounded by the flats
from the cameras eye view, but from 'inside' either garden or the
house you'll not notice, and from ground level outside you just had
some white walls really.

didn't go for lot of the internal decor etc. but hey it's their
house, but I did like it in general,

Whatever rocks your boat, but I certainly put a new build smack bang in the
middle of an estate.
For 350k i'd choose a more appropriate spot and sold the smaller house and
land they had to cover the excess money they borrowed.

Well yeah, but that's a different argument really isn't it. Presumably
they wanted to stay in the area/London or whatever. finding any spots at
all to selfbuild in somewhere like London must be pretty difficult.
