pOttobre happened to be driving past the house when he saw it for sale and went into a fierce bidding war with another prospective buyer./p
pAnd he held his nerve in a #8216;feisty auction#8217; as the hammer finally came down at £850,000 #8211; some £61,330 above the original asking price./p
pOttobre said his decision was motivated by a desire to get yard staff to stay and work with him rather than move on./p
pAfter purchasing the property in Cape Schanck in Melbourne, Australia, Ottobre said: #8220;To get people down to Cape Schanck it’s difficult, because of the extra driving./p
p#8220;You have to more or less have an incentive for the workers to stay rather than move on./p
p#8220;So they will have subsidised accommodation.#8221;/p
