4. Also, if potential homebuyers are interested in having a playset at their home and willing to pay more for home with it then it is not a great idea to bring it along with you.

Purchasing a new outdoor playset:

2. If the old swingset has become obsolete and your children are demanding to have a new swing set with updated safety features then you should get a new outdoor playset installed in the playground of your new house.
3. Compare the efforts and cost of relocating the old playset. Mostly it has been seen that it is more difficult and expensive to relocate the old swingset than purchasing a new one. Now you need not spend your hard-earned money on moving the old and obsolete playset, you can just buy a new one.
4. Also in case if the new property is not similar to the old one and the new property does not meet zoning requirements and the playset does not fit in well then buying a new one according to the new area is just a good choice.

• Cons of purchasing a new playset:

1. However, purchasing a new playset ensures the safety of your children but they might not accept it with an open heart. They have so many memories with the old set which makes them emotionally attached to it. Therefore, it’s no use of wasting your money on purchasing a new swingset that is not used by your children.
2. Playset having upgraded features is much expensive. You already have spent your hard-earned money on buying a playset. Selling the old playset along with your old home will not help you to recover the original investment to offset the new cost of buying a playset. And even if you buy a new playset, you will have to again undergo the expensive installation charges.

At the end, just consider the fact that whether purchasing a new one will be costlier for you than bringing it along with you. Also, consider its sentimental value for your children but remember that when your children will get a new one, higher are the chances that they will forget the old one. Consider the above facts to decide better.
