Stamp duty when I don't currently own a property

Looking for a bit of advice on paying stamp duty. I previously owned a house with my Dad but I am no longer on the deeds and have transferred my equity across to him. I'm currently renting but in the process of buying a property. I appreciate I'm not a first time buyer but does that mean I pay the full amount of stamp duty, regardless of me not being in an owned property currently?
Any thoughts very welcome!

You can find out using the stamp duty calculator on gov.uk. It askes you whether you have ever owned a house, not whether you own one now.0

Yes you have to pay the full stamp duty if you have ever owned or part owned any property.2
-
of course you have to pay the "full" rate if your purchase cost is above the zero rate threshold.
Does not matter if you are or are not a previous owner given you already accept you cannot claim FTB rate
read the facts for yourself
