Papsu's Recent Activity

I had had a pre-marital property since April 2010 which was first let out in June 2010 and since then it has still been let out. Me and my husband then bought a joint property in Mar 2013. We lived there until March 2016 and then relocated to another place due to work. That joint property was let out from July 2016 to June 2018. In the mean time me and my ex husband had split up. The property went on the market for sale in July 2018. Only after nearly 2 years, our property is now SSTC. This was mainly because my ex husband was not agreeable to reduce the asking price. I am hoping to buy another house after the sale of our joint house (whilst still holding on to my pre-marital house which is still being rented out). Will I have to pay a surcharge on the stamp duty for the purchase of my new house ? The new house will be a replacement of my old main residence but I had not lived in the old main residence in the 3 years preceding the purchase of my future new house. Will the fact that I had got divorced and my ex husband was not agreeing for the reduction of the asking price, be considered as 'exceptional' by the HMRC ? Kindly advise.
