I've installed spyder3 using:

sudo apt install spyder3

but it loads spyder2 with the splashscreen, etc.

How can I load/install Spyder3? I have Ubuntu 16.04, anaconda 4.2, python 3.5, universe is enabled.

In 16.04,spyder is spyder 2.3.8 for python 2 and spyder3 is spyder 2.3.8 for python 3 (source). In Zesty the package sources have Spyder 3.1.3, you can download and try to install it manually. From Zesty on, the package names will be less confusing here: python-spyder for spyder for python 2 and python3-spyder for spyder for python 3. However, no release has different versions of spyder in the package sources.

  • when I hit "conda list" into terminal it returns:

    spyder 3.2.1 py35_0

    Which seems to suggest to me I do have the third version already, the result is the same when I hit "pip list". So i'm not sure where it is loading the spyder 2 from?

You can use symbolic links to tell conda the paths to Python files that were installed by apt. The executable file for spyder3 is installed by apt to /usr/bin/spyder3. Put the symbolic links in conda's own lib/python3.5/site-packages directory which for you would be something like: /home/0_o/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages if 0_o is your username.
