As garden lovers you are going to kill me for asking this question! I am
purchasing a house with a small back lawn and some side plants. I really
have no interest in gardening Is it possible to have plants and grass
that require little or no intervention?

Yes, just leave it completely alone and it will naturalise into a
selection of wildflowers including grasses native to your region.
