signed contract for house (QLD), settlement Thursday
vendors are divorcing husband and wife. one is keen for the sale to go through, the other won't sign the mortgage release papers.

what would you do, seems the non cooperating spouse is stubborn and refuses to budge, hoping we will go away. I assume this is either to spite the other, or a better offer has come through.

I honestly can't be assed with this clown, and am either going to terminate and sue for damages, lodge a caveat if need be or just offer 10k more if he signs the mortgage release by that afternoon and grants early possession.

have solicitor meeting tomorrow

    You have your solicitor meeting tomorrow, let us know how you go, okay?

    Your solicitor should have some penalties clause in contract?

    That is pretty annoying. I wouldn't offer more and would expect your solicitor to have measures in place.

    Good luck.

    I wouldn't be offering $10k more, screw him.

      I'd offer $10k less per day it's overdue.

        OP drives a Lambo so 10k is nothing to him.

          I thought all ozbargainers drove Lambos?

      Gives time for solicitor to read OzBargain responses.
