I am doing some landscaping on my new property, close to a lake but
there are trees all around the house, so not much sunlight gets to
garden. Around 50% of the current lawn is covered in moss, it looks
pretty bad. The grass is probably dead underneath in some of the heavier
mossy areas.

Any tips on how to save as much as possible? I don't fancy doing a whole
re-sowing there's quite a bit

Lots of good info on the net but from a Pacific NW prespective, It is
all for nought unless you can get some sun. *Might win a battle this
year maybe even next year also but the war is a long way off and those
trees just get bigger. *As Sheldon alludes to rethink your plan, go
native.

Gunner, do you actually NEED a lawn? True, I'm posting from drought-
plagued So. Calif, where strenuous measures are being taken to have
people convert their lawns to xeriscapic landscaping. (Wikipedia:
"Xeriscaping and xerogardening refers to landscaping and gardening in
ways that reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental water from
irrigation." )

You could have a handsome "lawn" covered with a thick layer of large
nugget wood mulch, or even go to pebbles or granite. Would work well
with your reported lack of sunshine.
