It is a good idea to keep it back - because like many plants, it starts tiny through gaps and can end up thick and pushing against timbers. Buddliea seeds are the worst, in brickworkIf I may interject, I've heard that you shouldn't allow ivy to grow up under the eaves and possibly into the loft space. Is that the case and, if so, what damage would it do?
I did have it on the side of my house, I cut the stem where it came out of the ground and was advised to leave as long as possible. I did try to pull it off straight away but found it was pulling the mortar out of the wall. I just left it and it lost all of its strength/grip. One year later it nearly just fell off.
