Cornish palm roots?

 I have planted a Cornish palm 1 metre from the house, the plant is
currently 5 feet tall. From examining pictures of mature specimens on
the web, I realise that mine has a long way to go. Do I need to move
it further from the house while I still can, as I don't want to
encounter problems with the roots at a later stage.

We have a couple of these one about 20ft tall and the other a bit shorter.
It won't be the roots that give you a problem as they seem to go straight
down to their native land (NZ) but more the ever increasing size of the
crown as it matures.
If you move it, dig as far down as possible (3 to 4 ft) and remove as much
root as possible but you may have to cut it off to get it out, I bet you
also get another plant growing from the roots you leave in the ground in the
next couple of years, I did.
