Administrators struck a deal last week to sell the business to retail group CDS, which owns bargain chains The Range and Wilko.

Teneo, which is handling the Homebase sale process, is understood to have been working to find a buyer for as many of the chain’s sites as possible.

Homebase was bought for £1 by investment firm Hilco Capital, which has since brought in a swathe of cost-cutting measures. 

But the retail chain has struggled as customers cut back on spending amid the cost-of-living crisis, and reported an £84.2 million loss last year.
