Stamp duty help

Hello, I’m buying a house in wales 172500, I was divorced so not on a mortgage for 3.1 years. They are saying I will have to pay 8625 stamp duty as I’m a third owner of a rental property. I can understand if I own another property but I’m only in shares. Can anyone help with this please? Thanks
