Hannah Henshall Thomas

With a broad technical grounding across all elements of the rural market and direct exposure to complex estate management, she provides commercially focused advice underpinned by a thorough understanding of the holistic objectives of her clients.

Before joining Strutt & Parker, Hannah completed a BSc (Hons) in Rural Land Management at the Royal Agricultural College, where she received the Holland Medal for graduating top of her class. She also won two of three sponsored course work competitions in her second year, along with being awarded the RICS Top Student in the Southwest. Her elective modules included Heritage Property Management which she has a particular interest in. 

Hannah spent the following five years at a regional rural practise operating in the southeast where she gained a very broad range of experience managing a variety of rural estates for charitable, private (including trusts) and ecclesiastical clients. She has also acted for farm tenants on landlord and tenant matters and has agency experience in sales and lettings of rural and residential land and property. She also has extensive experience acting for landowners against utility companies, negotiating telecommunication mast renewals and has a successful track record in rural planning using permitted development rights and on small residential schemes. 

Since joining S&P in September 2025, Hannah has been exposed to a large variety of instructions across the rural sector. She has built upon her thorough understanding of the inner workings of a rural estate and, drawing on her valuation skills, is well-placed to provide commercial advice to clients seeking to improve the management and income of their land.
