Additional 3% SDLT


I have a question regarding the additional 3% SDLT.
I bought a small flat in 2016 on my name only. On 2019, I bought another (slightly bigger) flat, together with my (unmarried) partner and we paid the additional 3% SDLT. We then moved in and it became our main residence since then.
We're now thinking to buy a bigger flat to live in in the future and sell our current flat. We would be replacing our main residence so my understanding is that the 3% SDLT surcharge would not apply, am I correct?

Thanks. Would that be still the case, if we sell our main residence and had to move temporarily (3-6 months maximum) to my first (smaller) flat until we complete on the new one?0
