  @Plantminded Thank you for your comment, I hadn't heard of blood fish and bone fertiliser but after looking it up it doesn't seem too costly either. 
  I can accept a little moss as you say but at the moment it seems quite bad in various areas of my lawn but hopefully as you say if we mow correctly the grass should prevail when the warmer weather comes and the soil is a little drier.. and I'm looking forward to that! 🌞

  @Fairygirl thanks - I feel a little less worried about the lawn now after these comments! We just want to keep it looking as nice as the previous owners seemed to have it but over winter the moss has taken hold a bit.. so hopefully as you say as the weather improves the moss will die back a bit. 
  We certainly don't have the time to be a slave to our lawn as we have a baby on the way! 🤭

  Once the baby is big enough to be rampaging around the grass, it'll look rubbish anyway! 
  Moss doesn't like heat, so it'll improve as the weather does too. How quickly that happens depends a lot on your location as well. 
  
  Concentrate on your new family - and don't worry too much about grass. If you have some daisies in it - so much the better. Lots of daisy chain activity -mine loved that   

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

  Thanks for the advice @Chris-P-Bacon yes I am slightly worried about the patches there will be after raking/scarifying... I suppose I can look to overseed those areas though when it warms up from mid-April? 

  Yes, you can overseed when it warms up a bit.
