thinking about doing Law or Real estate for the future.
So are these degree subjects?

LLBs (recommended over BAs) do not require specific subjects (neither do the BAs).
Degrees in real estate don't require specific subjects - should you do a degree in real estate, I recommend the RICS accredited degrees should you go into surveying, or accredited urban planning degrees if this is something you want to do.

If you want to go into architecture, you don't need to do specific A Levels for most courses (something about 50/55 accredited RIBA degrees), but you need to have a good portfolio for your interview.

If you want to do a degree in civil engineering or structural engineering, then you would need A Levels in maths and physics.

Do note: you need an LLB or PGDL to become a barrister (some might argue you need the same to become a solicitor even though the SQE doesn't require your degree in specific subjects). You can do a law degree apprenticeshp for solicitor roles, but it's very rare to see apprenticeships to become barristers.
You also generally don't need specific qualifications to go into property. You can do degree apprenticeships for engineering or architecture roles; other roles don't really require any specific qualification, although the RICS degrees help with surveying.
Should it be via apprenticeships or degrees, you would ultimately end up with the equivalent of a degree to fully qualify for roles in architecture and engineering.

If you want to do an LLB, you can go into most roles in property/real estate (in the UK) all the same.

So, unless you want to do something in engineering, then you are free to pick any subjects you can get the highest grades in and you enjoy the most. If you want to be eligible for any degree for any of the above, then consider Maths, Physics, and Art and Design - some architecture degrees are picky about whether you have art at A Level, and some are RIBA accredited engineering degrees (go figure); then the engineering degrees would require Maths and Physics.
