A popular DIY and garden store in Leeds has been put up for sale.

Troubled DIY and garden chain Homebase fell into administration last week and has set a deadline of the end of next week for potential buyers to snap up its remaining shops in the UK and Ireland.

Homebase 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 was left hanging in the balance. Administrators have now placed 74 leasehold Homebase stores on the market.

They have set a deadline of November 29 for potential suitors to buy the remaining stores, amid efforts to secure more funds for creditors.
