All A Level subjects are difficult. And that is relative. I find english a lot more difficult than biology because I enjoy it less.

In answer to your question, start a course seach on UCAS:

Click on some of the unis you are interested in and then look at the Entry requirements section on the course page. This will tell you if there are any required/preferred subjects and if a combination of A levels and BTECs is acceptable.

In looking at applications we really don't have a preference - you want to do something that you find interesting and will enjoy over the next two years.
You can then have a mix of A-levels/BTEC and maybe the new T-levels (I don't think I saw any of these during clearing)

Whilst I say there's no particular preferred subjects - business and geography are often in the mix, psychology/sociology can be useful, politics would I think be useful although I don't see that very often at all.

If you can try and get some suitable work experience - even if that's just a week shadowing someone in a professional property firm - in your high street have a look at the for sale/rent boards above the empty shops - CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield etc - don't be afraid to get in contact with them and ask if you can get an idea of what they do (I'm just using the high street shops as a way to identify the firms - they all have development arms as well)

I think it's fair to say that this will apply to most of the common choices for these built environment courses, BCU, Brookes, NTU, UWE etc.
