Hi, I have purchased a property A in England in 2017. Due to work circumstances, I moved to a different part of UK and have been renting since. Because of this, my property A was changed to buy to let. Now I am purchasing a new residential property (property B) to be my main home in the place where I live and will pay the higher rate of stamp duty. My question is, if within a few years I decided to move to a different part of UK due to work and had to sell property B and buy another one (property C) to be my main residence close to my new work place, can I get a refund on the stamp duty that was paid for property B ? Or would I be expected to pay stamp duty for the second time for property C without any refund?
