Should I withdraw my offer first before I offer on another?

Yes you can. I did this a few weeks ago. I’m assuming it’s two different estate agents. 

Did you make an offer on another before telling the agent? 
Then let the agent know once your offer on another is accepted?

morally inform ASAP , legally do what you want...but first make up your mind what you do want... a refurb within budget that is a long term home or one that's ready and after a couple of years move on......The grass isn't always greener 

I know immediately when I view the "right " property and there's no stopping me .. perhaps you haven't found that in either A or B to switch that quickly

Will you still be interested in property A if your offer for B is turned down?

The honerable thing to do is to withdraw from A as you are clearly no longer interested.

The practical thing to do is see what happens to your offer on B before burning your bridges on A.

I am still interested in A  but all condition of B is even better so I am interested in it more tbh. so if offer  on B is not accepted  I would like to keep my offer on A. Please give any further advice if you have?

Assuming you are in England I don't see what other advice you need, based on the responses you already have here. Legally there is no issue with making an offer on B and keeping your offer on A until you find out if your offer is accepted. Morally some people will feel you should pull out from A if you are still looking at other properties.
If I was in your shoes and felt included to make an offer on B without pulling out of A, I would make a good/fair offer and give the vendor 24 hours to accept.

If some buyer gave me 24 hours to accept an offer or they'd withdraw I would be very tempted to tell them where to stick it!

Can you imagine what the next 12 weeks or so would be like lol? No thanks!

Make your best offer on property B asap. If it's accepted then you tell A that you're withdrawing from the purchase - happens a lot so don't worry. If B don't accept your offer you just continue with A. It's quite simple really.

Thank you for your advice. It's easy and clear. Also that is what I thought I need to do.
