When buying a property, it is important for the buyer to conduct a thorough inspection of the house and note any defects or issues. In this case, Alejandro failed to notice the cosmetic problems before buying the house. It is not the duty of the seller to explicitly point out every minor defect, especially if it is something that could be reasonably expected to be noticed by the buyer. Therefore, it is unlikely that Alejandro will be successful in rescinding the contract.
