How to customise title on Wordpress (running Yoast)

I am trying to customise a title for a Wordpress page. In the page I have some php to obtain data from the database. I would like to output a custom title based on the data and the page id. I have tried this:

add_filter('wpseo_title', 'property_title', 10, 1);
function property_title() {
global $post;
$postid = $post->ID;
if ($postid == '72616') {
   $title['title'] = "Property number $propertyid";
   return $title;
}
}

How can I check the postid and if it is the right page, output the data from the sql query?

Many thanks,

Neil.

The title is passed in for that filter. Make sure you return title outside of the if statement.

add_filter('wpseo_title', 'property_title', 10, 1);

function property_title($title) {
   global $post;

   $propertyid = get_query_var('reference');

   $postid = $post->ID;
   if ($postid == '72616') {
      $title = "Property number $propertyid";
   }
   return $title;
}

add_filter( 'query_vars', 'add_property_query_vars' );

function add_property_query_vars( $query_vars ) {
    $query_vars[] = 'reference';

    return $query_vars;
}
