Second Property Stamp Duty

Does anyone know exactly how this new stamp duty works? Specifically if I were to buy a second property and arrange for some refurbishment work to be undertaken on it, say moved in to the house three months later, and then sold my current house in which I reside, would I syill have to pay the extra stamp duty?

You would need to pay it but if you sell your main residence within 36 months you can claim it back.0

HMRC does, and so will you if you read the guide:
