Please help me!!!

I am thinking of applying to universities in the UK but I am a resident of an EU country. However, my father is working in the UK and, as a family member, I managed to receive the settlement status. As far as I know, in order to qualify for home fees at universities, one has to live in the UK for three years before the start of a course at university, but I haven't lived there for such a long time. Can someone help me? Will I qualify as an international student that pays the international fees or home student? Or should I reach out to universities and ask them about this situation?
