I have over seeded with a shady mixture after poor growth with the original mixture in some areas. I over seeded the back and the front on the...
Yeah, the past week has been full of sunshine and mild temperature so it has helped the growth.Though the corners are still bare, lots of seed...
Update, cut the front.This was 2 weeks [ATTACH]This is at 5 weeks [ATTACH]
No, I have not cut the front garden yet because the grass is not long enough, maybe 2 inches tall. I know cutting grass encourages lateral growth...
I mean if you look at the before and after pictures it looks a lot better but still not where I had expected it to be compared to the back garden....

Latest update.The front garden looks okay from a far but it has come up very patchy. Some parts have no grass at all. I think the slugs have...

Dead patches can be caused by several things. My simplest advice would be to cut the grass as low as possible.Then scarify, remove as much dead...
If I was in your position I would scarify well and overseed as it is a good time to do that right now. Then re-visit the problem next year after...
I also have some thin areas like yours. I just put more seed down there. See imgI don't think a full assessment can be made of the fully bare...
Update.
2 things I can see. One I think you are cutting your lawn close. Looks like that from the pictures. So I may be wrong.Secondly, Shade ? Mine...
