The firm has set a deadline of the end of next week for potential buyers to snap up its remaining shops in the UK and Ireland.

It appointed administrators at consultancy Teneo after it was hit hard by an "incredibly challenging" three years for the DIY sector.

Administrators struck a deal to sell the business to retail group CDS, which owns The Range and Wilko, securing the future of up to 1,600 jobs and 70 stores.

However, the future of 2,000 other workers and its remaining stores have been left hanging in the balance.

Administrators have set a deadline of November 29 for potential suitors to buy the remaining stores.

Homebase's collapse came amid reports that banking giant Wells Fargo declined to extend the group's lending facility due to concerns about its finances.

Commercial real estate adviser Altus Group, which represented the chain, said more than 50 checks, challenges and appeals against the retailer's property tax liabilities were outstanding at the time of its collapse.
