They don't make any guarantees that it will be cleared instantly.

But in my experience, it normally is.

Pretty much all of them do now yes but it depends on the bank.

The internet doesn't close at weekends. 😉

It will be in HSBC's terms and conditions. If sent via "Faster payments" it will be a few minutes. If not, it could be Wednesday.
Are both personal current accounts. If business accounts, then no chance.

See how long it take to transfer £1

PS
I have space in my account. I could nip over with the money to your sons house (eventually)

I transfer between Barclays and HSBC business accounts regularly.

Every time, by the time I have logged into the receiving account to check, it's showing as cleared funds

Faster payments can be slower though. Every now and then one takes a few hours, annoyingly.
