Do I qualify for home fees as a returning British citizen?

Hi, I was born and raised in the UK until I moved to the US 4 years ago.

I want to study pharmacy in the UK and I am planning on moving back permanently in June next year.

About my situation:

  • We did not move to the US because of a work visa.
  • I have visited only once since moving.
  • I still have close family in the UK (my dad's side)
  • My mother has a mortgaged house in the UK that she is renting out. Those tenants are leaving and my mom might come with me back to the UK.
  • In that house we have a shed with many of our old things in it (could this be proof of the move being only temporary?)
  • I have bills in my name (like paying off my phone and my dad added me to one of his utility bills).
  • I have a UK passport.

EDIT: I have a UK bank account!! Ive had the bank account for 6 years now.

EDIT 2: Guys. I am NOT trying to take anything away from UK students. It is just a question. education can get expensive and I just wanted to save as much money as I can. In no way will me possibly getting home fees affect any UK students. It was not my choice to move to the USA and I've always wanted to return.
